Mid-Market Business Climate: definition andcalculationThe EY Mid-Market Business Climate is a value that is calculated as a (geometric) mean of the two balances for thecurrent state of business and expectations for business. We calculate these balances in the following way: theproportion of those answering negatively (e.g., the current state of business is seen as “bad” or “fairly bad”) issubtracted from the proportion of those answering positively (e.g., the current state of business is seen as “good” or“fairly good”).In order to reflect the development of the business climate as precisely as possible, a weighting factor is applied for thecalculation of the balances: the answers “good” and “bad” (current state of business) and “improve significantly orstrongly” and “deteriorate significantly or strongly” (development of business climate and turnover) are all multiplied bya factor of c = 1.5.Business climate= ( 1c Current state + 200 ) ( 1cExpectations+ 200 ) — 200The following example illustrates the calculation of the EY Mid-Market Business Climate:Of the companies questioned, 56% see their current state of business as good, 32% as quite good, 10% as fairly bad and2% as bad. The weighted percentage terms are now netted: (56×1.5 + 32) — (10 + 2×1.5). The result(i.e., 104.1) is the assessment of the current state of business. Using the same method, we calculate the balance of theexpectations (as the arithmetic mean of the two single balance values).In theory, the EY Mid-Market Business Climate can vary between -100 and +100, with +100 meaning that allquestioned companies assess their current state of business as good and simultaneously expect their performance andturnover to improve significantly. In practice, the EY Mid-Market Business Climate in Germany since 2008 has variedbetween values of 14 (January 2009) and 57 (January 2011).European Mid-Market Barometer 2015Page 61
