The
Companies Survey for the second quarter of 2019 continues to indicate a moderate
growth rate of business sector activity. The net balance in the overall
business sector increased during the second quarter, becoming positive again,
but remaining lower than the net balance that was typical of the previous two
years (Figure 1 and Table 1). In the
services, trade, and manufacturing industries, expectations are for expansion
in the next quarter.
