<\/p>\nThe\u00a0November survey\u00a0signals a marked worsening of expectations among the large industrial companies associated with Confindustria. Almost half of the companies interviewed (46.9%) expect a\u00a0moderate or significant contraction in industrial\u00a0production compared to the previous month. However, the percentage of companies that estimate stable production remains high, standing at 46.8%. Only a small share, 6.3%, hypothesizes a moderate increase in production activity, while none predicts a significant increase, marking a negative picture\u00a0after months in which production was considered stable or growing (Graph 1).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
According to industrialists,\u00a0demand and orders\u00a0are confirmed to be the main strengths supporting production in the coming months. The balance between the share of companies that consider them driving factors and that which instead considers them obstacles grows significantly, reaching +7.8% (Graph 2).<\/p>\n
The\u00a0availability of labor: returns to be a significant obstacle for production, after a cautious optimism of the previous months: balance at -3.4% from -0.2%.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0production costs\u00a0continue to worry large industrial companies. The balance worsened: going from -1.5% recorded in October to -3.4%.<\/p>\n
The assessments relating to the\u00a0financial conditions remain steadily in positive territory\u00a0(+3.0%).<\/p>\n
Expectations regarding the\u00a0availability of materials are improving, while maintaining a negative balance, going from -1.2% in October to -0.3% in November.<\/p>\n
The sentiment on the\u00a0availability of plants, which in the previous survey was almost stable with a balance of -1.3%, undergoes a clear worsening, falling to -3.7% and becoming the main source of concern for industrialists.<\/p>\n
