Industrial Indicators
CNI Industrial Indicators are designed to identify the short-term evolution of industrial activity on a monthly basis. As a short-term survey, its importance lies in indicating the actual behavior of industrial activity through variables such as sales, employment, earnings, and capacity utilization. The survey began to be carried out in 1992 and is the result of a partnership between CNI and 12 Federations of Industry. The states included in the survey account for over 90% of Brazilian gross industrial product.
Industrial activity improves in April
The April 2019 issue of the Industrial Indicators survey shows a month-over-month increase in industrial activity. It is worth stressing, however, that March 2019 was exceptionally weak due to the fact that Carnival was celebrated that month, which is unusual.
