Please note: all the series are seasonally (SA) and working-day adjusted (WDA).

The commentary shows variations of subsections by decreasing contribution. The contribution of a subsection depends on the extent of the change and on its weight.

In November 2016, output bounced back markedly in the manufacturing industry (+2.3% after −0.6%). It also grew sharply in the whole industry (+2.2% after −0.1%).

Manufacturing output increased by 0.6% over the past three months

Over the past three months, output grew in the manufacturing industry (+0.6% q-o-q), as well as in the overall industry (+0.7% q-o-q).

Output increased in all branches. It rose sharply in mining and quarrying; energy; water supply (+1.9%), in the manufacture of transport equipment (+1.1%) and in the manufacture of food products and beverages (+0.9%). It soared in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (+16.6%). Finally, it went up slightly in “other manufacturing” (+0.2%) and in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (+0.5%).

Over a year, manufacturing output decreased (−0.3%)

Manufacturing output of the last three months faltered (−0.3% y-o-y) compared to the same months of 2015; so did overall industrial output (−0.4% y-o-y).

Over the year, output diminished sharply in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (−2.1%) and in the manufacture of food products and beverages (−1.4%), and more moderately in mining and quarrying; energy; water supply (−0.8%). It was virtually stable in “other manufacturing” (−0.1%). Conversely, it went up strongly in the manufacture of transport equipment (+2.4%) and, to a lesser extent, in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (+1.0%).

Output picked up strongly in pharmaceuticals (+9.2% after −0.5%), in chemicals (+5.3% after −4.2%) as well as in the manufacture of basic metals (+3.1% after −3.7%). It accelerated in the manufacture of rubber and plastics products, and other non-metallic mineral products (+2.1% after +0.1%).

Output gathered pace in the manufacture of transport equipment (+3.4% after +1.5%)

Output bounced back in the manufacture of other transport equipment (+3.3% after −0.2%). It continued to increase markedly in the manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers (+3.5% after +3.8%).

Output went on growing in mining and quarrying, energy, water supply, waste management (+1.5% after +3.1%)

Output went up again in electricity, gas, steam and air-conditioning supply (+1.4%), though less vigorously than in October (+3.9%).

Output recovered in the manufacture of food products and beverages (+1.3% after −2.0%)

Output rebounded in the manufacture of food products and beverages (+1.3% after −2.0%), in particular in the processing and preserving of fruits and vegetables and in the manufacture of beverages.

Industry (BE) 0.07 –0.08 0.22 0.14 0.00

raw serie –0.06 –0.06 0.08 0.04 0.00
SA-WDA parameters 0.06 –0.05 0.17 0.12 0.00
  • How to read it: in the manufacturing sector, the SA-WDA variation in output between October 2016 and September 2016 is not revised, as the revision of the raw series (−0.06) is offset by the effect of the update of the SA-WDA parameters (+0.06).
