  10. Business expectations survey for the manufacturing Sectorinterpretation of net balances The net weighted balance is commonly used to reflect the direction and extent of the business sentiments.  It is the difference between the weighted percentage of 'up' responses and the weighted percentage of 'down' responses.  For example, if weighted responses for overall manufacturing output yields a net weighted balance of +30 per cent, the plus sign before the percentage figure indicates a positive balance or net upward movement, and not a 30 per cent increase in output. Similarly, a minus sign before the percentage indicates a downward trend and not a decline by that amount.
