- The Cabinet Office describes the Machinery Orders survey as basic data for grasping capital investment trends at an early stage and analysing economic trends (Cabinet Office, Machinery Orders Statistics). (Source)
- The Index of Industrial Production (mining and manufacturing) is adopted as coincident series C1 of the Cabinet Office's Indexes of Business Conditions. (Source)
- The series adopted as a leading series in the Indexes of Business Conditions is "real machinery orders (manufacturing)" (L4), which differs from the "private sector excluding ships and electric power" series shown here. (Source)
