Abstract: Despite further slight improvements, sceptical economic assessments continued to dominate in January. Situation assessments improved in the services and retail sectors, while expectations only improved in the retail sector, albeit noticeably. Manufacturing companies are still very pessimistic. Uncertainty rose slightly in most sectors compared to the previous quarter. "Insufficient demand" remained the most frequently cited obstacle to business activity.
