Bank of England Agents' Summary of Business Conditions

November's Bank of England agents’ summary of business conditions.

The key headlines are:

Demand for consumer services continued to shrink, with consumption of housing-related services contracting rapidly. Domestic tourism remains an exception, with hotels reporting steady leisure bookings.
Across much of the year, growth of export demand had been broadly stable. In recent months, however, contracts have reported a sharp slowdown in orders. Demand from the euro area has slowed but there are also reports of demand from the Middle and Far East slowly.
In recent months, the scores for employment intentions in the services sector have been reduced particularly sharply and are now at their lowest level since Agents began scoring in 1997.
