    Statistics

    According to the assessments of firms in non-construction industry and in services with more than 20 employees, sales appear to have slowed in the first nine months of 2019. These less positive assessments largely reflected the negative expectations for exports. Once again, more firms expected sales to increase than to decrease over the next six months, albeit less markedly compared with the previous survey.
