"Manufacturing appears to lead services... whereas no clear leading relation can be established in the other direction."
“The overall impact of the downturn on services is likely to be smaller.”
"Monetary policy shocks have an impact on manufacturing that is almost twice as strong and around two quarters faster than their impact on services.”
