The Industrial Confidence Indicator has increased by 16 points, increasing from -0.17 for the 1st quarter to -0.01 for the 2nd quarter of 2004. This is due to increases in all three components of the indicator, namely production plans for the next 3-4 months, assessment of the volume of new orders, and assessment of finished goods stocks. The most significant growth was observed with respect to the production plans of enterprises.
