London, June 21 (BridgeNews) - U.K. manufacturers continue to struggle
with below-normal order books and are increasingly pessimistic about their
chances of increasing their prices, the Confederation of British
Industry's June survey showed. Only 9% of manufacturers said they thought
they would be able to put prices up over the next four months, while 26%
said they would go down. The net price expectations balance, of -17%, was
the lowest in the CBI survey since September 2000, and sharply down on the
net -12% in May.
