The conditions that exist in the economy as a whole, rather than in a particular sector or region. In general, the macro environment will include trends in gross domestic product (GDP), inflation, employment, spending, and monetary and fiscal policy. The macro environment is closely linked to the general business cycle, as opposed to the performance of an individual business sector.

This is not a question, but a statement. And that statement is inaccurate as written. The macro environment for any business is the same, and is dependent upon specific industry forces as well. The macro environment refers to external societal trends that affect the company's ability to serve its customers.
