The manufacturing climate indicator in France rose to 110 in July 2021, from an upwardly revised 108 in the previous month and above market expectations of 107. That was the highest level since April 2018, boosted by improvements in the balances of opinion on the overall and foreign order books, as well as the balance on the personal production expectations. Meanwhile, the general production prospects deteriorated and the balance on the expected trend in selling prices has fallen back after five months of sustained increase. source: INSEE, France
