The production decreased in the manufacture of computer, electronic and optical products (-2.5%) and in the manufacture of electrical equipment (-1.6%). It was stable in the manufacture of machinery and equipment n.e.c. (+0.1%).
The production decreased in the basic pharmaceutical products and pharmaceutical preparations (-1.5%), in the manufacture of rubber and plastics products, and other non-metallic mineral products (-0.5%) and in the other manufacturing; repair and installation (-0.4%). It was stable in the manufacture of basic metals and fabricated metal products and in the manufacturing of wood and paper products, printing and reproduction of recorded media (+0.1%). The production increased in the manufacture of textiles, wearing apparel, leather and related products (+4.8%) and to a lesser extent in the manufacture of chemicals and chemical products (+0.6%).
The production rose in the manufacture of other transport equipment (+2.4%). In the opposite, it decreased in the manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers (-0.6%).
The SA-WDA evolution between July and August of the manufacturing production published during the previous campaign was stable. It has been revised at +0.1%.
The raw data revisions are due to industries‘ belated answers, especially in the manufacture of machinery and equipment n.e.c., the manufacture of computer, electronic and optical products and in the other manufacturing.
