The big picture did not change in February: an FDI of 51.3 is consistent with levels of December/January and continuing to reflect slow growth. But even if growth is slow, it also looks very stable: the employment outlook is good, pricing is in decent (if unremarkable) shape and inventories are lean. The majority of respondents see things better in six months, again. It may not be an environment in which to expect sizable gains in scale, but it is one well suited to investing in your business.
