The central bank expanded its cyclical coincident indicator to include new data on services using PMI indexes and taking into account service spending and financial services.
The indicator rose to -0.02 in November from -0.08 in October, taking the change in methodology into account. The revision starts from 2010 and shows a gradual improvement of the indicator profile starting from September 2014, with a noticeable improvement in October and November of this year.
