Activity in the region’s service sector grew at a fairly solid clip, according to firms responding to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s February 2019 Business Leaders Survey. The survey’s headline business activity index climbed fourteen points to 13.7. The business climate index edged up three points to 3.2, indicating that on balance, firms regarded the business climate as better than normal. Employment levels rose modestly, and wage increases picked up noticeably. Both the prices paid and prices received indexes advanced several points, pointing to an acceleration in both input and selling price increases. Firms were more optimistic about the six-month outlook, with the index for future business activity rising seventeen points to its highest level in months.
Growth Resumes
After stalling in January, growth in business activity in the region’s service sector resumed in February. The headline business activity index climbed fourteen points to 13.7. Thirty-seven percent of respondents reported that conditions improved over the month, and 24 percent said that conditions worsened. The business climate index moved up three points to 3.2, signaling that, on balance, firms viewed the business climate as better than normal, though only to a small degree. Price Increases Accelerate
The employment index was little changed at 7.3, indicating that employment levels increased modestly. The wages index rose eight points to 45.3, suggesting wage gains were more widespread this month. After declining for the prior three months, the prices paid index rose seven points to 58.8, pointing to steeper input price increases. The prices received index advanced eight points to 24.8, a sign that the pace of selling price increases picked up. The capital spending index moved up five points to 16.1, suggesting that capital spending increased at a respectable clip. Optimism Recovers
After three months of subdued readings, indexes assessing the six-month outlook were markedly higher in February. The index for future business activity shot up seventeen points to 31.2, and the index for future business climate rose twenty-two points to 5.9, its first positive reading since October of last year. The index for planned capital spending climbed ten points to 26.6.

The Business Leaders Survey is a monthly survey conducted by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York that asks companies across its District - which includes New York State, Northern New Jersey, and Fairfield County, Connecticut - about recent and expected trends in key business indicators. This survey is designed to parallel the Empire State Manufacturing Survey, though it covers a wider geography and the questions are slightly different. Participants from the service sector respond to a questionnaire and report on a variety of indicators, both in terms of recent and expected changes. While January 2014 is the first published report, survey responses date back to September of 2004 and all historical data are available on our website. Contacts |
