#' Indicators fo CUBS
#'

#'
#' A dataset containing the seasonally adjusted utilization indicators in the service industry, the building and construction industry,
#' and capacity utilization in manufacturing/industry for all EU countries and some neighboring countries at different frequencies.
#'
#' The confidence indicator in the service industry is composed of question 1, 2, and 3 of the monthly service sector survey  ((Q1 + Q2 + Q3)/3).

#' The underlying survey questions are as follows:
#'  \itemize{
#'   \item Q3 Evolution of your current overall order books
#'   \item Q4 Employment expectations over the next 3 months
#' }
#' The indicator for capacity utilization in manufacturing/industry is based on question 13 of the quarterly industry sector survey.
#' The underlying survey question is as follows:
#'  \itemize{
#'   \item Q3 Current level of capacity utilization
#' }
#' @format A list with 53 nested country lists with time series objects. Each country list contains 3 time series variables:
