Entrepreneurs who believe in a positive development of their business over the next three months have increased, shows SEB's latest business indicator.
This is an increase from 29 to 35 percent. At the same time, the proportion of entrepreneurs who believe in a negative development has increased from 12 to 13 percent. The proportion who believe in an unchanged development decreases from 56 to 50 percent.
The indicator thus lands at plus 22 units, which is 5 units higher compared to last month. SEB's private economist Américo Fernández states in the press release that entrepreneurs' optimism is growing for the second month in a row and the indicator now reaches the highest level since September 2021.
"It is clear that entrepreneurs are now turning the page after a dismal 2024 with weak growth, cautious households, and high bankruptcy figures", he says.
