A survey conducted by the Confederation of British Industry, pointed to an increase in the number of manufacturing orders in the UK in February. The indicator was plus 6 points, rising from January value to minus 1 point. The forecast of economists suggested an increase in orders to minus 3 points. Survey participants expect stable output even after the UK’s withdrawal from the EU.

In February, there is also an acceleration in the growth of export orders, contrary to forecasts.
