Stellar Business Thrills EBCI Panelists

摘要

NEMA's Electroindustry Business Confidence Index (EBCI) for current North American conditions posted a sharp increase in February, climbing to 68.5 points from 55.2 points in January. February's reading for the EBCI, a monthly survey of electrical manufacturers conducted by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), Rosslyn, Va., was the strongest since last September and the 34th in a row above the critical 50-point threshold indicative of favorable business conditions. At the same time, the February EBCI for future North American conditions slipped slightly to 53.6 points, down from 56.9 a month ago.
