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
- Half of all ecosystems recorded an increase in confidence.
- Four ecosystems remained stable.
- Two ecosystems (Electronics and Creative & Cultural Industries) recorded a decrease compared to October.
- The largest increase was recorded for Retail.
- The largest decrease was recorded for electronics.
- The rise in confidence for Retail is driven mostly by the lift in Retail trade, except of motor vehicles and motorcycles.
- The drop in confidence for Electronics is driven mostly by the decline in Manufacture of computer, electronic and optical products.
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
