Description topics
- Balances per indicator
- This option allows a prompt selection of the balance per indicator without
having to choose between other results (large, small, increase and
decrease), incorporated in the balance. The balance is the difference
between the response percentages increased/large/improved and
decreased/small/declined.- Opinion on orders received
- The weighted percentage of manufacturers reporting orders received are
large minus the percentage reporting orders received are small. This
balance gives an insight into the satisfaction of manufacturers
compared with previous balances.
- Sales prices
- The weighted percentage of manufacturers expecting sales prices to rise
minus the percentage expecting sales prices to fall. This balance gives
an insight into the direction sales prices will develop in the subsequent
three
months.
- Stocks final products
- The weighted percentage of manufacturers reporting that the stocks of
final products are too large minus the percentage reporting that these
stocks are too small. This balance gives an insight into the stock changes
compared with the previous balances.
- Foreign sales
- The weighted percentage of manufacturers expecting an increase
in foreign sales minus the percentage expecting a decrease.
This balance gives an insight into the direction foreign sales will
develop in the subsequent three months.
- Number of employees
- The weighted percentage of manufacturers expecting an increase
in the number of employees minus the percentage expecting a decrease.
This balance gives an insight into the direction the number of
employees will develop in the subsequent three months.
