The near-static average score, despite a smaller sample size, suggests consistent challenges in the raw materials and intermediate goods sector regarding payment practices. The decrease of 0.1 point suggests that payment behavior at best stagnated, and that a small dip occurred, even if statistically marginal, during the period. Suppliers can use a late payment calculator to understand the true cost of these delays.
One-line summary: Payment practices in the raw materials and intermediate goods sector declined by 0.1 points between 2021 (54.5/100 across 146 companies) and 2022 (54.3/100 across 127 companies).
