Confidence Indicator for the industrial ecosystems

We build a profile of the economic sentiment for each ecosystem, by calculating a weighted average of the values of those sectors included in the definition of each ecosystem; the weights are based on the share of value added that each sector has in the total value added of the ecosystem, as a measure of the relevance of that sector to that ecosystem.

Key messages of this edition

• More than half of all ecosystems recorded a decrease in confidence
• Three ecosystems (Digital, Creative & Cultural Industries, and Energy Intensive Industries) recorded an increase
• Two ecosystems (Electronics and Energy-Renewables) remained stable compared to March
• The largest increase was recorded for Digital
• The largest decrease was recorded for Tourism
• The drop in confidence for Tourism is driven mostly by the decline in Food and beverage service activities
• The raise in confidence for Digital is driven mostly by the lift in Computer programming, consultancy and related activities and Publishing activities outweighing the decrease in other sectors

Note: For 'Retail', 'Agrifood', 'Proximity-Social Economy', 'Renewable Energies', and 'Health', data available only partially cover that ecosystem, so we used dashed lines and the related values have to be interpreted with caution
