The Index is calculated on the basis of experts’ survey. 350 leading experts are surveyed concerning their expectations of future economic activities and the situation in a capital market. The Index value displays a balance between positive and negative expectations of the European economic activity within next half a year.
The Index is calculated on the basis of difference in percentage answers’ correlation either in favor for positive or negative. For instance, if 30 % of all surveyed participants consider the German economic situation to be improving within next half a year, 30% do not expect any alterations, 40% percent expect its decrease, and then the value of economic expectation will be - 10. The results of economic survey from Europe, Japan, Great Britain and USA are also included into this investigation.
