Dr. Ralph Wiechers: Incoming Orders February 2025
After a subdued start to the year, order books in the machinery and equipment manufacturing industry filled up unexpectedly strongly in February, both from abroad and domestically. Overall, companies recorded an increase in orders of 8 per cent in real terms compared to the previous year, with domestic orders up 11 per cent, which was even more surprising than foreign orders, which grew by 7 per cent (euro countries: up 4 per cent, non-euro countries: up 9 per cent).
