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
- Pretty stable trends in confidence across industrial ecosystems;
- Three ecosystems recorded relevant increases in confidence:
- Digital, which remains the most positive one;
- And Energy Intensive Industries and Textiles, which remain the two with the lowest levels.
- The largest drop in confidence was recorded for Tourism, which is quite worrying, given that it happened in August, a month typically positive for this ecosystem.
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
