The business climate indicator was 42 points, showing a decrease of 9 points, i.e. the state of the business climate in the country is assessed as good.

Assessment of the current state of the business. It is calculated as the difference between the answers “Good” and “Bad” as a percentage of the population of the sample. The value of the current state varies from -100 points (all respondents assess the current state as bad) to 100 points (all respondents assess the current state as good);

The Business Climate value can fluctuate between -100 points (all respondents assess the current state as bad and expect further deterioration of their business) and 100 points (all respondents assess the current state as good and expect further improvement in their business).
Based on the relationship between indicators of the current state and expectations of prospects, it is possible to determine the phases of the economic cycle in the country for the next 2-3 months.
If both values of the current state and expectations are negative, then the economy in the country, in the next 2-3 months, will be in a state of recession. If the value of the current state is negative, while the value of the expectation is positive, then the economy, in the next 2-3 months, will experience an upturn or recovery.
If both values of the current state and expectations are positive, then the economy, in the next 2-3 months, will experience accelerated development.
