The economic situation is better, but it is not time for joy yet
We start the latest issue of the Baker Tilly TPA Index with an analysis of the current condition of the economy and the transaction market. Despite the continuing restrictions related to COVID-19, one can see a certain, tentative breath of optimism among entrepreneurs. In their view, the situation is beginning to stabilize. The finance and IT sectors point to recovery. The exceptions are the food service and hospitality industries, which have seen large declines practically since the beginning of the pandemic, and are now signaling a deterioration of this already bad situation.
What all sectors have in common is that their activity is lower than the average and the levels a year ago. As a result, GDP growth is likely to remain negative in the fourth quarter of 2020. A difficult situation is also to be expected in the labor market. Forecasts for practically all sectors expect to see a reduction of employment compared to the current levels.
