More precisely, a quarter of business managers consider themselves both unable to increase their production in case of additional orders and facing difficulties due to a lack of personnel: this share remains at a level well above its average. Finally, the share of business managers unable to increase their production and facing supply difficulties has slightly decreased while remaining above it long-term average.
