Methodological
Note
The monthly structural survey is conducted among a fixed sample of 28 Federgon members accounting for
85.82% of the temporary agency work industry in Belgium in 2010.
All figures in this monthly report relate to daily averages in order to neutralize the differences in number of
working days per month.
The year‐on‐year evolution is calculated from gross figures.
The month‐on‐previous‐month changes are calculated from seasonally adjusted figures (the seasonal
adjustment is performed by the Surveys Department of the National Bank of Belgium using the Tramo Seats
method).

NBB Business Confidence Indicator
The National Bank of Belgium's business
barometer declined in August for the
fifth month in a row.
Business leaders' confidence weakened
again in the manufacturing industry, but
the strongest deterioration was noted
in the business‐related services sector.
The business climate worsened in the
building industry too, although to a
limited extent. Finally, in the trade
sector, the previous month's decline
was completely reversed, thanks to a
generally more positive outlook.
