EME Macro/Strategy: Another look at the labour market

In our view, we are about halfway through the worst phase of the business cycle phase: falling activity and rising inflation; the latest batch of private sector confidence surveys for October supports this interpretation. Industrial sector confidence fell more or less everywhere, with a worryingly sharp drop concentrated in the core Eurozone countries (particularly in Germany), but a modest fall in central Europe. In Turkey, sentiment plummeted further, reaching levels lower than the bottom of the 2008 crisis. On the other hand, Russia, Greece, Romania and Hungary all reported relatively stable indicators last month.
