This indicator measures the year-over-year change in the value of export orders received by domestic manufacturers, serving as a leading indicator for future export performance. It is particularly vital for export-driven economies, reflecting global demand for key sectors like electronics, semiconductors, and machinery. A rising trend in export orders often precedes growth in industrial production and overall GDP.
Data is compiled through monthly surveys of major manufacturing firms regarding the total value of new orders received from overseas clients. The figure is then compared to the same month in the previous year to determine the percentage change.
