Abstract

As expected, in December, 2018 business situation in the manufacturing industry continued to deteriorate. For the third time in a row the industrial confidence indicator (ICI RIED) decreased (by 1.7 pts to -8.3 pts). It is now 10.1 pts down from the respective last year figure. Negative cyclical factors reinforced again. The monthly and annual decline of ICI was recorded for the majority of the distinguished groups of manufacturers. The deterioration of business situation manifested in the decrease of production, total and export orders. Firms' financial situation and their opinions about general economic situation in Poland worsened. The only bright spots of the December survey results are the lower growth rate of the producer prices and finished goods inventories, and a slight increase in employment. However, in comparison with the December 2017 figures the performance of the manufacturing industry is much weaker now. Firms are very pessimistic about their future business prospects. It looks that the declining trend, which has been growing since the beginning of 2018, will continue in the coming months.(original abstract)
