Investment intentions picking up globally

Sources: : BCC, Business Roundtable CEO Survey, CBI, Bank of England, European Commission, Markit and Tankan. Notes: UK and US data are quarterly while the data for Japan and Germany are annual. The data are normalised over the period 2002-17, except for Japan where 2004-17 is used. Investment intentions cover the calendar year for Germany and the fiscal year for Japan. US data cover the next 6 months. The line for the UK shows the average of the BCC, CBI, CIPS and Bank of England Agents’ survey measures of investment intentions. The CBI and the Bank Agents’ survey are intentions over the next 12 months, BCC data are changes to investment plans over the past 3 months and Markit/CIPS data are changes in investment goods orders compared with the previous month.
