The business climate and consumer confidence surveys published by the European Commission's Department of Economic and Financial Affairs say that while the business climate has remained stable in January 2013 at -1.09, economic sentiment has increased by 1.4% in both the EU and the euro area. It is the third month in a row that economic sentiment has risen but it remains below its long-term average.
Confidence increased in the services, construction, retail and consumer confidence but decreased in industry in the EU. In the euro area it was much the same picture, but retail and industry remained unchanged.
