The data of the barometer Cema (European Association of agricultural machinery manufacturers), to which it belongs
Ansemat, presents in this month of may signs of greater stability and a slight recovery, especially among the markets stronger (Germany, France or Italy). The climate of business (an ' average' between the volume of current business and prospects to six months away) begins to recover, after the very strong fall at the end of the first quarter. In spite of continuing negative figures, has recovered 15 points in the last two months.
The companies are still conservative and high rates of negative satisfaction can still be seen, but there are positive data in this context that, after four months they begin to grow more positive perceptions (2% of respondents perceived growth in the coming months).
The evolution of the business index dependent on the production plans, of the situation of the markets in Europe from the East and financial "issues" or access to finance in some countries (with wide regional differences), may vary in the coming months as they begin to see growth. A good sign is the slight increase in the templates of temporary workers shows, a priori, the increase in production or prospects for the market.
