The data of the Barometer of Business of Cema (European Association of manufacturers of agricultural machinery), to which belongs Ansemat (National Association of machinery agropecuaria, forestry and of green spaces), show the stability in the last four months of the index of climate of business (an average porcentual between the results of the current turnover and the forecasts to six months dress) that keeps in the -2 points (inside a rank of +/- 100 points) from the past month of July. The opinions and forecasts of the participants in the study (more than 140 directors of companies of 9 European countries) reflect the uncertainty that lives in all the social and economic sectors at present, what, somehow brakes the markets and, to fault of better forecasts, has stagnated the figures of business in the last four months, although breaking the downward trend of the previous months to the start of the second semester.
The main European markets (manufacturers) as it is the case of France (especially in this case) and Italy, keep some figures of positive internal market. In the positive pole would join him the Polish market, while in the contrary part would be countries like Romania or Belgium those that would show markets more volatile.
Out of the analysis of the figures of the markets the feeling generalised for the participants in the study is of doubt in front of the financial difficulties of the European surroundings. To the susceptible fault of external financials would join him the high price of raw materials or the inconsistente atmospheric behaviour to compose a picture of difficulties in spite of the need and potential of modernisation and investment in machinery and agricultural equipment that exists really. In spite of everything, the market of export has supposed a desahogo fundamental with a strong figure of businesses and an increase generalised of the requests what carries to the participants in the study to bend for keeping a growth (of average in Europe) of 4% of this sector in 2012 and some forecasts of market for 2013 of 2% of growth.
