About this data

Monthly Economic Sentiment Indicator (ESI) and business and consumer survey indices from the European Commission (DG ECFIN), available continuously since 1980. This is the earliest leading indicator series in the region, predating all others. It comprises the aggregate Economic Sentiment Index (ESI) (normalized to a long-term average of 100, with readings above 100 indicating optimism relative to the long-term average) and five sector sentiment indices: industry, services, retail, construction, and consumers. The five sector indices are balance figures (the percentage of positive responses minus the percentage of negative responses), thus fluctuating around zero and typically taking negative values, unlike the ESI scale. This is the most comprehensive and free leading indicator of the European economic cycle, playing a role similar to PMIs but with a history over thirty years longer and coverage spanning individual member states.
