UK CBI Industrial Trends Orders August −25 versus forecast −40, previous −45. Trading Economics calendar matches. No CBI.org 20 Aug 2026 release.
The Confederation of British Industry’s industrial-trends order-book balance printed −25 for August. That is the Forex Factory calendar line: actual −25 versus a −40 forecast and a previous of −45. Trading Economics corroborates the same row, timestamped 20 August 2026, 10:00 AM GMT. There is no CBI.org release dated 20 August 2026 on the open web used for this note.
This is a beat versus the −40 forecast. It is still a negative balance. Below zero means more manufacturers called present order books below normal than above.
| Series | Actual | Forecast | Previous |
|---|---|---|---|
