In December 21 percent of companies expect to increase prices while 11 percent expect to reduce them.
Producers of semi-manufactured products and capital goods expect net to increase their prices, while producers of consumer goods expected to reduce them.
The positive producer confidence has hardly resulted in plans to increase employment.
Only 6 percent of manufacturing companies expect to employ more staff, while as many as 16 percent expect to reduce staff in the next three months.
These percentages have hardly changed in the last one and a half years.
