The Index of goods orders, the warranty period of which is three or more years. The indicator is represented by goods of various classes but the most significant among them are considered to be orders for produced durable goods (machine-tools, equipment, raw materials), transport services and orders in defense industry.

The “core” of current index is calculated without taking into account transport services and orders in defense industry, and that is why the basic indicator becomes more objective, and it influences stronger the rate of US dollar.
