Industrial confidence indicator makes up –0.06. After the rise in April by 17 points comparing to January its August value decreased by 7 points comparing to April. This happened due to deterioration of production plans of firms for the following 3 months. Impact of this component was stronger than that of two other components of the total indicator. The decrease in the value of "stocks of unsold products" and considerable improvement of "portfolio of orders evaluation" have been recorded. These trends observed for the above two indicators could lead to increase of the total indicator, if production expectations were more optimistic.
