VIII. Translate the following extract in written form:
History indicates that no single indicator is able to accurately forecast the future direction of the economy. However, several economic variables tend to reach high or low prior to the peak of a business expansion or the trough of an economic recession. Such variables are called leading indicators.
To provide more reliable information on the future direction of the economy, economists have devised an index of 12 leading economic indicators. The indicators included in the index are: length of an average work week in hours; average weekly claims for unemployment compensation: new orders placed with manufacturers; percent of companies receiving slower deliveries from suppliers; net new business formations; contracts and order for plant and equipment; permits for new housing starts; change in manufacturing inventories; change in sensitive material prices; stock prices; money supply; change in credit outstanding.
Each component in the series is standardized and weighted. The weight attached to each variable is based on its past performance as an indicator of macroeconomic turns.
