Mike Rigby, Head of Manufacturing at Barclays comments on today’s ONS Index of Production figures

10-7-2013 — /europawire.eu/ — “Today’s figures feel a little out of kilter with other industry data and what our manufacturing clients are telling us. Our clients suggest they have increased visibility of their forward order book which is having a positive effect on their appetite to invest. To many it feels like we are experiencing a more positive outlook but today’s figures do show that a number of challenges still persist. It’s not surprising to see the manufacture of base metals and products has contributed to the fall in manufacturing as commodity prices fell during the period.”
