Sentiment indicator higher at the monthly level

In June 2016 (4.2 percentage points) the sentiment indicator was 0.7 percentage points higher than in May 2016 (3.5 percentage points). Compared to the long-term average, the indicator was 7.3 percentage points higher.

The sentiment indicator at the monthly level was higher due to the increase in the consumer confidence indicator (by 0.4 p.p.), the services confidence indicator and the retail trade confidence indicator (each by 0.2 p.p.) and the construction confidence indicator (by 0.1 p. p.). On the other hand, the lower value of the manufacturing confidence indicator (by 0.3 p.p.) reduced the rise of the sentiment indicator.

Sentiment indicator lower at the annual level

In June 2016 the sentiment indicator at the annual level decreased by 0.7 percentage points.

The sentiment indicator at the annual level was lower due to the decrease in the consumer confidence indicator (by 1.9 p.p.) and the manufacturing confidence indicator (by 0.3 p.p.). On the other hand, the higher values of the services confidence indicator (by 0.9 p.p.) and the retail trade confidence indicator (by 0.6 p.p.) reduced the fall of the sentiment indicator at the annual level, while the construction confidence indicator had no impact.
