Industrial Survey
The Industrial Survey is a monthly business opinion survey designed to capture trends in industrial activity and expectations of entrepreneurs. Carried out since 1998 and currently conducted in partnership with 25 Federations of Industry, the Industrial Survey generates results by company size, geographic regions and activity sectors of Manufacturing and Mining and quarrying industries.
Despite the growth in industrial production, inventories remain adjusted
In April 2024, the performance of industrial activity experienced an upturn, characterized by increases in capacity utilization and industrial production. This trend deviates from the typical pattern observed during this period – industrial production usually contracts in April. The growth can be partially attributed to the adjustment in inventory levels, which have been maintained at a level lower than or as planned by industrial entrepreneurs for five consecutive months.
