Output decreased in the manufacture of computer, electronic and optical products (-2.9%). On the contrary, it increased in the manufacture of electrical equipment (+1.3%) and the manufacture of machinery and equipment n.e.c. (+0.6%).

Revisions : -0.33 point in January

In January 2011, manufacturing output increased by 1.5%

The new calculation of the SA-WDA especially applies to the “other manufacturing, repair and installation of machinery”.

Measure of variations’ revisions
(in point %)
Note of reading : in the manufacturing, the SA-WDA evolution between December and January is revised by -0.33 point : -0.01 is due to the raw serie's revision and -0.32 to the new calculation of the SA-WDA.
