graphiqueExpected prices in retail trade
- Source: INSEE
In retail trade (excluding trade and repair of vehicles), the business climate has faded sharply
In June 2022, in retail trade, the business climate has deteriorated sharply. At 93, the composite indicator has lost six points and stands below its long-term average level (100). This decrease is mainly the result of a decline in the balances on the expected workforce size.
Indeed, the opinion of retailers on the general business outlook for the next three months has deteriorated: the balance related to the general business outlook for the sector has decreased and has moved below its average level. The balances of opinion on ordering intentions and expected sales have also decreased sharply and have moved away from their average.
About employment, the balance of opinion on the change in the workforce size over the last three months has rebounded slightly but remains well below its average. Conversely, the one on the expected change over the next three months has decreased sharply and has moved away from its own.
The balance about past sales has edged down a little, as well as the one related to the current level of stocks. Both have returned below their average.
The balance of opinion on selling prices is virtually stable, at a very high level.
In trade and repair of vehicles, the business climate has improved slightly
In trade and repair of vehicles, the business climate has improved slightly again in June 2022. At 94, it has gained two points but remains below its long-term average (100). This rise is mainly due to an increase of the balances of opinion related to ordering intentions and on the general business outlook: both balances have improved and remain below their respective averages.
The balance related to the current level of stocks is virtually stable, far below its average. The balances on sales remain well below their average but have changed in mixed ways: the one on past sales has continued to decrease, whereas the one on expected sales has rebounded.
About employment, the balance on the change in the workforce size over the last three months has improved without recovering its average, whereas the one concerning the next three months is virtually stable, below its own.
The balance of opinion on expected selling prices has decreased but remains at a very high level.

Revisions
The business climate for May 2022 in the sub-sector of trade and repair of vehicles has been revised downwards by one point. This revision is mainly due to the inclusion of late responses from companies.
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.
The three composite indicators of business climate presented here are estimated independently of one another. Thus, that of the whole of the retail trade and in trade and repair of vehicles cannot be deduced from the two others. The same balances of opinion are included into their calculations, but they are not assigned the same weightings. Also, the indicators are scaled to have a long-run average of 100 and a standard deviation of 10. The three climate series do not have the same historical beginning, so their standardisation differs slightly. Discrepancies may therefore appear from time to time.
For the three-modality questions, 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.
Company responses were collected between 27 May and 20 June 2022.
