The Confederation of British Industry's order book balance fell to 15 in June of 2022 from 26 in the previous month and below market expectations of 22. Manufacturing output growth slowed in the three months to June (25 vs 30 in May), and growth is expected to ease further in the three months ahead, but expectations remain well above their long-run average. Expected domestic price growth for the three months ahead eased markedly in June (58 vs 75), the weakest expectations for selling price inflation since September 2021. “While manufacturing output is still being supported by a backlog of orders, growth appears to be softening. Stocks of finished goods are now seen as broadly adequate and we may be seeing the first signs that weaker activity is beginning to slow the pace of price increases in the sector.”, said Anna Leach, CBI deputy chief economist. source: Confederation of British Industry

UK Factory Orders at Record Levels
The Confederation of British Industry's order book balance rose to 26 in May of 2022, matching previous records from March and November, from 14 in the previous month. “Manufacturers have reported output growth and order books improving in May. But cost pressures remain acute and are pushing manufacturers to raise prices. Sentiment among manufacturers has fallen in recent months as the outlook has deteriorated following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and investment plans are being scaled back”, said Anna Leach, CBI deputy chief economist.

UK Factory Orders Index Falls to 6-Month Low: CBI
The Confederation of British Industry's order book balance fell to 14 in April of 2022, the lowest in six months, from 26 in the previous month and below market expectations of 21. “Manufacturing orders and output continue to grow, albeit at slower rates. But the war in Ukraine is exacerbating the Covid-related supply crunch, with cost increases and concerns over the availability of raw materials at their highest since the mid-1970s. It’s little wonder that sentiment has deteriorated sharply over the past three months and manufacturers are now scaling back their investment plans”, said Anna Leach, CBI deputy chief economist. Over the three months to April, growth in output volumes slowed to +19% from +27% - still above a long-run average of +4% - and new orders also rose more slowly +22% compared with +38% in the three months to January. Firms expected growth to slow further over the next three months.
