Capacity utilisation
Capacity utilisation
This indicator displays the level of use of a country's industrial potential. If the volume of this level is 80-85% the balance between economic growth and the inflation level may be called good. If the volume strays outside of this "corridor" it may be an indicator of inflation and if it grows the national currency grows too. This factor has a moderate influence on the currency markets and its data is published monthly together with Industrial Production Index at 09:15 EST (New York).
