Business managers’ opinion on their past activity deteriorates sharply
In May 2019, far fewer business managers than in the previous month have indicated an increase in their activity over the last three months. The corresponding balance has plummeted after a virtual stability in the previous month. It remains however above its long-term average. Moreover, business managers are less optimistic about their activity prospects: the balance of opinion on expected activity has decreased again. While remaining well above its long-term average, it has reached its lowest level since November 2018.

Production bottlenecks remain important
In May 2019, the production capacity utilisation rate is virtually stable. It had increased continuously from December 2018 to April 2019 and stands in May at 91.7%, above its long-term average (88.5%). At the same time, 45% of business managers have reported production bottlenecks, against one out of three on long-term average. This share has increased slightly compared to the previous month and stands at its highest level since September 2008. Otherwise, 24% of business managers have declared production bottlenecks due to workforce shortage, well above the long-term average (14%).
