28/04/2022 – A slight decrease in machine tool orders
The Ucimu index in the first quarter
In the first quarter 2022, the index of machine tool orders processed by the Economic Studies Department+Business Culture of Ucimu-Sistemi per Produrre marked a slight decrease (-3%) compared with the period January-March 2021. The absolute value of the index stood at 164 (base year 100 in 2015). The outcome was due to the reduction in the collection of orders in the domestic market, which was partially counterbalanced by an increase in overseas orders.
