Following a collapse in the second quarter, at least business activity in general did not deteriorate further. Also, no major new unsettling political events occurred during the survey period. While the small increase in the third quarter RMB/BER BCI is encouraging, the improvement must be seen in the broader context of continued weak domestic demand, subdued business activity, low profitability (for most respondents) and heightened political uncertainty.
