Business Expectations Of The Manufacturing Sector, Quarterly
Economic Development Board (EDB) quarterly statistics in this collection capture manufacturing-sector business expectations for the next three and six months relative to the prior three months. Three CSV datasets break views down by total manufacturing, manufacturing clusters, and sub-clusters for analysts tracking industrial sentiment. Coverage in the catalogue runs through September 2019, supporting retrospective comparison with production and export indicators. Researchers should treat expectations as survey-based forward-looking indicators, not realised output.
