What is this indicator?

Business Sales y/y refers to the percentage change in the amount of sales generated by businesses from one year to the next.


Why is it important?

The Business Sales y/y figure is important for several reasons. Firstly, it provides a measure of the pace of economic growth. When sales are growing at a faster rate than in the previous year, it suggests that the economy is expanding. Conversely, if sales are declining, it suggests that the economy is contracting. Secondly, the Business Sales y/y figure can provide valuable information on the health of specific industries or sectors. If sales are growing rapidly in a particular industry, it could indicate that there is strong demand for the goods or services produced by businesses in that industry. Conversely, if sales are declining in a particular industry, it could suggest that demand is weak, and businesses in that industry may need to adjust their production or marketing strategies.
