Domestic Economy Struggles to Gain Momentum: Confidence Is Growing, but a Slump in Investment Is Dampening the Recovery

Nationwide, more than one-third of companies expect revenues to rise in the coming year, while only 21 percent fear a decline.
This results in a clear positive balance of +15 percentage points for the revenue indicator.
The services sector, too, is looking to the future with great confidence, with a balance of +27.
