From the previous edition of In Focus, early signs of shifting market conditions had already begun to emerge. Rising transport costs, weakening purchasing power, and unstable income levels were gradually affecting consumer sentiment and spending behavior, although the impact remained uneven across sectors.
By April, these pressures had become more evident across the broader macroeconomic landscape. Slower growth, persistent inflation, more cautious investment activity, and evolving labor market conditions increasingly reflected the strain being felt by both households and businesses.
This edition builds on those earlier observations by examining how these developments continue to shape business conditions, consumer behavior, and overall economic sentiment.
