Producer confidence; sentiment indicator manufacturing industry, branches

Producer confidence is a sentiment indicator for the manufacturing industry that indicates the direction in which manufacturing production is expected to develop. The indicator is an unweighted arithmetic average of three component indicators from the Business sentiment survey of the manufacturing industry. Before the Producer confidence is calculated, seasonal effects are removed from the three component indicators. The questions concern the expected activity in the next three months, opinion on order books and opinion on stocks of finished products. Results of the latter question are inverted when calculating the producer confidence, since a surplus of finished products is seen as something negative. 

The more optimistic or pessimistic manufacturing companies are, the more positive or negative the value of the producer confidence indicator is compared with the zero line, and the greater the expectation that manufacturing production in the coming months will increase or decrease respectively. The producer confidence indicator has been available since 1985. For the sectors of manufacturing industry given in this table, the results are available from the start of 1994.

生产者信心指数系制造业之情绪指标，旨在揭示制造业生产发展趋势。该指数为制造业商业情绪调查中三个构成指标的未加权算术平均值。在计算生产者信心指数之前，将从三个构成指标中剔除季节性影响。调查问题涉及对未来三个月预期活动、订单簿意见及成品库存意见。在计算生产者信心指数时，对后者的问题结果进行逆运算，因为过剩的成品被视为负面因素。制造业公司越乐观或悲观，与零线相比，生产者信心指数的值越为积极或消极，对制造业生产在未来几个月内增加或减少的预期也越为强烈。生产者信心指数自1985年起即可获取。对于本表中列出的制造业各行业，数据自1994年初开始可用。本出版物由欧盟委员会共同资助创建。数据可追溯至：1985年1月。数据状况：数据已最终确定。截至2024年11月28日的变化：已添加2024年11月的数据。何时发布新数据？预计将于2025年1月6日发布12月的数据。
