Big drop in confidence level of Welsh business
Western Mail

BUSINESS confidence levels have fallen sharply in Wales but still remain in positive terrain, according to the latest business barometer from Lloyds.
Lloyds' latest report reveals a drop in business confidence in Wales
(Leon Neal)
Welsh firms reported lower confidence in their own business prospects month-on-month, down 38 points at 27%.
When taken alongside their optimism in the economy, down 41 points to 19%, this gives a headline confidence reading of 23% (compared to 63% in August).
Anything above zero in the barometer represents a positive net balance and vice versa.
The fall in confidence in Wales this month was greater than the UK as a whole where overall confidence fell 12 points in September to 42%.
