The industrial confidence indicator in the Euro Area declined for a second consecutive month to 7.9 in April of 2022, the lowest since March of 2021, and below market forecasts of 9.5. It mainly reflected a marked improvement in managers’ assessment of the stocks of finished products, which impacts the composite indicator negatively as a sign of lower demand.

Managers’ assessments of the current level of overall order books improved slightly, while their production expectations remained broadly unchanged after the steep fall of March.
