49 respondents from Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire gave feedback on Quarter 1 2019 (January to March inclusive).
54% of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire respondents stated that spend was up or similar to the comparable quarter for 2018, a figure which is over 10% points below the national picture (67%). This could relate to the particular quarter being reviewed.
The national figures are presented below:
