Revisions
The business climate for January 2023 has not been revised in retail trade as a whole and in its sub-sectors (after rounding).
For more information
The whole sector “retail trade and trade and repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles” is composed for 70% of retail trade and for 30% of trade and repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles.
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 motor 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.
Company responses were collected between 27 January and 17 February 2023.
