Title: 2012Q3 Survey Highlights
   

Although business confidence rose during the third quarter, the surveys provided a rather mixed bag of results and do not signal any broad-based improvement in the growth momentum of the domestic economy. The pockets of strength were mainly in the trade sectors, while the manufacturing sector reported the largest deterioration in business conditions. The aim of this note is to summarize some specific insights and cross-cutting trends observed in the current round of BER surveys as a first indication of developments in the real economy during 2012Q3.
