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 a decrease in confidence;
- Four ecosystems remained stable;
- Three ecosystems (Energy Intensive Industries, Textile, and Creative & Cultural Industries) recorded an increase compared to July;
- The largest decrease was recorded for Tourism, followed by Digital, and Aerospace & Defence;
- The drop in confidence for Tourism is driven mostly by the decline in Food and beverage service activities and Accommodation.
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
