In September 2018, the KOF Economic Barometer rose from 98.9 in the previous month (revised down from 100.3) by 3.3 points to a level of 102.2. This may imply that the downward trend, which has been visible since the beginning of 2018, might have come to a halt.

The strongest positive contributions to this result come from manufacturing, followed by the indicators from the exporting sector and finally from the financial sector. The signals from the remaining sectors are slightly positive or neutral.
