据ICIS网站2月23日消息 研究机构Ifo周二表示，随着全球经济从新冠疫情引发的衰退中复苏，德国出口导向型、石油化工产品密集型制造商预计未来几个月的订单将大幅上升。
Ifo的出口预期指数在2月份升至2018年9月以来的最高水平，尽管欧洲经济是德国产品的主要消费国之一，是此次疫情的重灾区之一。
Ifo表示，德国制造商更为积极的情绪是基于中国良好的经济表现以及美国产量的增加。
Ifo总裁Clemens Fuest表示：“化工行业预计出口将大幅增长，机械和设备制造商也将如此。”
“汽车制造商已经度过了三个月的平静期，再次期待着更多的国外订单。”
电气设备生产商的预期尤其乐观，达到2018年2月以来的最高水平。
Fuest补充道：“然而，家具和服装行业在国际市场上仍然面临困难，企业预计销售额将大幅下降。”
德国是欧元区内最大的经济体，其工业行业作为石化产品的主要终端消费者，仍占GDP的20%。

Germany petchem firms expect big uptick in orders
As the global economy revives from the pandemic-induced slump, Germany’s export-orientated, petrochemicals-intensive manufacturers are expecting a significant uptick in orders over the coming months, research institute Ifo said on Tuesday.
Ifo’s Export Expectations index rose during February to its highest since September 2018, despite the European economy, a key consumer for German products, being one of the hardest hit by the pandemic.
The more positive sentiment among German manufacturers was based on China’s good economic performance as well as an increase in US production, said Ifo.
“The chemical industry expects significant export growth, as do manufacturers of machinery and equipment,” said Ifo president Clemens Fuest.
“Automotive manufacturers have put a three-month lull behind them and are once again expecting more orders from abroad.”
Expectations among electrical equipment producers were particularly bright, at their highest since February 2018.
“However, the furniture and clothing industries still face difficulties in the international market, with companies expecting a significant decline in sales,” added Fuest.
Germany’s economy is the largest within the eurozone, and its industrial sectors, which are key end consumers for petrochemicals, still account for 20% of GDP.
