Abstract

The results of the July Scottish Business Survey suggest that optimism about the general business climate improved for retailers but deteriorated for manufacturers , wholesalers and construction companies. Overall, the Survey suggests that activity remains constrained by a shortage of sales and orders and that there is fairly widespread spare capacity. Prospects for employment are reported to be poor.
