29/03/2010 (Agence Europe) - The improvement in confidence indicators is continuing. In March, the Business Climate Indicator (BCI) for the euro area improved further - marking one year of uninterrupted recovery. According to data published by the European Commission on Monday 29 March, the rebound of the indicator suggests that economic activity in the industry sector will continue to recover in the coming months, although it has still some way to go to reach its pre-crisis level. The Economic Sentiment Indicator (ESI) improved significantly, reaching 99.6 (+2.0 points) in the EU and 97.7 (+1.8) in the euro area. The ESI is now close to its long-term average, albeit it will still require further improvement for the economic activity to reach its pre-crisis level. (A.B./transl.rt)
