The balance of opinion on ordering intentions has recovered
In October 2020, the balance of opinion of the business managers on their ordering intentions has recovered, after having stagnated during summer, and has returned above its long-term average. On the other hand, the balances of opinion on the recent trend of workforce size, the general business outlook for the sector and on recent and expected sales have fallen back. Among these four balances, only the one on past sales is above its average. The balance on expected selling prices has increased slightly while that on the level of stocks has hardly decreased.

Retreat in the balance on the future trend of workforce size
In October 2020, the balance of opinion on the expected change in workforce size for the next three months has fallen back while that of the recent trend of workforce size has risen slightly. Both of these balances are well below their long-term average.
The business climate in retail trade remains very deteriorated
In October 2020, in the retail trade subsector, the business climate has weakened a little and thus remains very deteriorated. At 86, it stands significantly below its average (100).
The drop in the balances of opinion on recent trend of workforce size, recent sales and on the general business outlook for the sector is partially offset by the increase in the balances on ordering intentions, particularly in specialized retail trade, and on past trend of workforce.
The balance of opinion on the general business outlook for the sector has fallen slightly and therefore remains below its average. The two balances on sales, recent as expected, have gone down, especially in non specialized retail trade. The balances on the stock level and on expected selling prices are virtually stable.
The business climate in trade and repair of motor vehicles has deteriorated
In trade and repair of motor vehicles, the business climate has deteriorated. At 101, it has lost three points and stands now just above its average. The sharp drop in the balances of opinion on expected sales, recent trend of workforce size and general business outlook explains most of the decline. The balances on future trend of workforce size and expected sales have fallen below their respective averages, while that on the general outlook has moved further away from its.
To a lesser extent, the balance of opinion on ordering intentions has also fallen, for the third consecutive month, but remains above its average. Business leaders are therefore more pessimistic than the previous month about the outlook for the next three months. However, they report a relatively good performance in recent sales: the balance on the change in sales over the last three months is virtually stable, well above its average.
Revisions
The subsectoral business climate in retail trade for September 2020 has been revised upwards by two points. This revision is mainly explained by the inclusion of late responses from businesses.

For more information
The whole sector “retail trade and trade and repair of motor vehicles and motor cycles” is composed for 70% of retail trade and for 30% of trade and repair of motor vehicles and motor cycles.
A balance of opinion is the difference between weighted percentage of “increase” or “above normal” answers and weighted percentage of “decrease” or “below normal” answers.
Since the definitive data of April 2020, the way of correcting non-response has been modified. The usual method was to fill in missing answers by carrying on past answers from non-responding companies. The results are now computed on the sole basis of responding companies.
The responses to this survey have collected between September 28 and October 19, 2020.
