OVAB Europe Digital Signage Business Climate Index

Political situation effects volatile business sentiment in Poland

The OVAB Europe Digital Signage Business Climate Index (DBCI) has strongly declined since the last poll in July. The decline in expectations comes at odds with the most recently announced GDP growth figure.

In the latest September/October survey in Poland the DBCI fell by 25,02 base points yet it remains in the “slightly positive” level. In the first quarter of the year the economy has grown by 3,1 % which marks the largest growth in two years.

At the same time, the Polish economic climate has reacted badly on the current crisis in Urania and also on the recently surprising ban on its fruits and vegetables exports to Russia.

Only 36,4% of all polled companies could generate in parts a clear increase in revenues in the first half year term in 2014 compared to the same period in the previous year.
