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
- This month there is a somewhat positive rebound in confidence for most ecosystems, although levels remain low compared to confidence in the previous quarter.
- Proximity & Social Economy shows the largest increase in confidence, driven mostly by Repair of computers and personal and household goods. Retail, Textile, and Tourism also display a clear increase.
- Creative & Cultural Industries shows a remarkable decrease driven mostly by the combined decline in Other professional, scientific and technical activities, and Advertising and market research.
- Confidence in Electronics, Aerospace & Defence, and Energy Intensive Industries remains practically constant.
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
