How to use these signals
Read the dashboard as background, not as a score. Inflation and pay levels can affect margins; vacancies and unemployment describe labour-market pressure; GDP is a broad demand signal; Bank Rate affects the financing environment. The direction and relevance differ by sector and business model.
For a company decision, combine these national series with the legal entity's own accounts, filing record, cash needs, sector exposure and the date of the investment evidence.
