Between the first and second quarters of 2024, there was for the most part no change in how firms’ key business indicators developed over the past 12 months. Amongst other things, 32% of firms reported a decrease in short-term liquidity in the second quarter, while 20% reported an increase. The gap between these two figures thus widened by just over 1 percentage point compared with the previous quarter, though the change was small by historical standards.

In the second quarter of 2024, there was only a slight quarter-on-quarter change in firms’ expectations over the next 12 months. Expected short-term liquidity, amongst other things, improved slightly on the first quarter. The second quarter saw 28% of firms expect liquidity to decrease over the next 12 months, while 17% expected liquidity to increase. The gap between these two groups thus narrowed by just under 5 percentage points compared with the first quarter of 2024.
