Abstract

The recovery in manufacturing production we noticed in the 3rd quarter was broken down with the advent of the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since August the industrial confidence indicator (ICI) and the survey balances have been showing alternating rise and fall month over month. In total the indicator decreased by 4.6 pts (compared to the August figure), and is the same number down from the November 2019 value. However, the cumulative increase in the 2nd half of the year was enough to overturn the declining tendency which had lasted nearly 2 years. Manufacturers are although pessimistic about their business prospects in the near future.(original abstract)
