Manufacturing industry

The turning point indicator comes back to the favorable area.

Business leaders consider that their past activity improved noticeably, coming back so to its long-term average. Stocks of finished goods remain rated very inferior to their long-term. At the same time, order books, total and export, increase; they are considered as very low nevertheless.

The personal production outlook for the next month remains low. The general production outlook, which represents business leaders’ opinion on French industry as a whole, improves markedly; it places upper its long-term average from now on.
