The East midlands economy appears to be strengthening, with orders on the increase, according to a new survey of business managers.
The monthly PMI Business Activity Index from NatWest bank suggests inflation is also softening –though the number of new jobs being created has slowed.
It suggests the rise in outputs was at the fastest rate seen in the region for almost a year. However, NatWest said, the upward shift was lagging behind the UK average.
