Surveys

The Directorate-General for Economic and Financial Affairs (DG ECFIN) of the European Commission conducts five monthly, harmonised surveys for the economies in the European Union (EU) and in the candidate countries. They are addressed to representatives of the industry (manufacturing), services, retail trade and construction sectors, as well as to consumers. A few additional questions are asked on a quarterly and biannual basis. These surveys allow comparisons among different countries’ business cycles and have become an indispensable tool for monitoring the evolution of the EU and the euro area economies, as well as monitoring developments in the candidate countries.

The Business and consumer survey (BCS) database comprises the following surveys:

Industry survey

- Monthly questions on production, order book levels, stocks of finished products, perceived economic uncertainty, selling prices and employment.

- Quarterly questions on factors limiting production, production capacity, development of (overall and export) order books and months of production assured by them, capacity utilisation, competitive position.

- Biannual questions on investment activity, as well as structure of and factors stimulating investment (annual).

Services survey

- Monthly questions on business situation, demand, perceived economic uncertainty, employment and selling prices.

- Quarterly questions on factors limiting business and capacity utilisation.

- Biannual questions on investment activity, as well as structure of and factors stimulating investment (annual).

Retail trade survey

- Monthly questions on business activity, stocks of goods, orders placed with suppliers, perceived economic uncertainty, employment, selling prices.

Construction survey

- Monthly questions on building activity and factors limiting it, order books, employment, perceived economic uncertainty, prices charged.

- Quarterly questions on operating time ensured by current backlog.

Consumer survey

- Monthly questions on financial situation, perceived economic uncertainty, general economic situation, price trends, unemployment, major purchases and savings.

- Quarterly questions on intention to buy a car, purchase or build a home, home improvements.

Indicators

Monthly Confidence Indicators (CIs) reflecting overall perceptions and expectations are calculated separately for all four business sectors covered by the survey programme, as well as consumers. The computation is done both at country and aggregate level (EU and euro area).

A monthly Economic Sentiment Indicator (ESI) is calculated based on a selection of questions from the industry, services, retail trade, construction and consumer surveys at country level and at aggregate level (EU and euro area) in order to track overall economic activity. The ESI has been calculated since 1985.

Since 2020, the set of monthly composite indicators also contains an Employment Expectations Indicator (EEI), which helps getting a timely indication of expected changes in dependent employment. The indicator is constructed as a weighted average of the employment expectations of managers in four surveyed business sectors (industry, services, retail trade and construction).

A monthly euro area Business Climate Indicator (BCI) is available for industry.

Detailed methodological information about the BCS surveys and indicators is provided in a user guide to the Joint Harmonised EU Programme of Business and Consumer Surveys: https://ec.europa.eu/economy_finance/db_indicators/surveys/documents/methodological_guidelines/bcs_user_guide.pdf

Note: Up until April 2023, the BCS surveys included a sixth survey for the financial services sector, which was only available at EU/euro area level. This survey has been discontinued.

The economic sentiment indicator (ESI) is a composite indicator produced by the Directorate General for Economic and Financial Affairs (DG ECFIN) of the European Commission. Its objective is to track GDP growth at Member states, EU and euro area levels. The ESI is a weighted average of the balances of replies to selected questions addressed to firms in five sectors covered by the EU Business and Consumer Surveys and to consumers. The sectors covered are industry (weight 40 %), services (30 %), consumers (20 %), retail (5 %) and construction (5 %). Balances are constructed as the difference between the percentages of respondents giving positive and negative replies. EU and euro-area aggregates are calculated on the basis of the national results and seasonally adjusted. The ESI is scaled to a long-term mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 10. Thus, values above 100 indicate above-average economic sentiment and vice versa. Data are seasonally adjusted (SA). Further details on the construction of the ESI can be found in the user guide of the Joint Harmonised EU Programme of Business and Consumer Surveys.
