Business sentiment for October-December 2021
Share of respondents seeing a good SQ17 jumps to 33% for manufacturing, 37% for services
S17 findings need to be viewed in the context of falling omicron cases. Economic activity and manufacturing activity did not see much of a downside in SQ17 due to the spike in omicron cases. However, it remains a key monitorable and contingencies such as escalation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the ever-present threat of any new Covid-19 variants can dampen progress in coming quarters.
