The subindex for the assessment of the current economic situation was 105.4 points. (versus 105.3 pp., previously adjusted to 106.1 pts), and the subindex measuring expectations against the upcoming six months dropped to 98.7 pts. (versus 99.2 points) from 99.7 points. after the revision in the previous month.
