The CBI Industrial Trends Orders is a monthly survey conducted by the Confederation of British Industry that provides an early snapshot of the UK manufacturing sector. It measures the health of order books by asking manufacturers whether their current total orders are above, below, or at normal levels. This indicator is highly valued for its timeliness, often being released before official government manufacturing data. It provides insight into domestic and export demand for British-made goods.
The index is based on a survey of approximately 400 manufacturing firms. The headline figure is the 'balance,' calculated as the percentage of respondents reporting orders are 'above normal' minus the percentage reporting they are 'below normal.'
CBI Industrial Trends Orders has been trending upward for 4 consecutive period(s). Forecast accuracy is 63% over 40 readings. The release is likely to come in above the consensus forecast of -29.
