In May 2011, manufacturing output clearly increased (+1.5%)

In May 2011, the manufacturing output clearly increased in volume (+1.5%). It was barely stable in April 2011 (+0.1%).

In the industry, output strongly increased as well (+2.0%).

This increase is not due to the lack of trading days or bridges, which as been calculated in the SA-WDA data.

In the last three months, the manufacturing output increased (+0.9%)…

In the last three months (quarter-on-quarter change), the output increased in the manufacturing sector (+0.9%) and was stable in the industry as a whole (+0.1%).

The output increased in the “other manufacturing” (+1.6%, q-o-q) and in the electrical, electronic equipment and machine equipment (+1.6%).

In the opposite, it decreased in the manufacture of transport equipment (-1.9%).

…and exceeded it’s last year’s level by 4.8%

The manufacturing output rose by 4.8% (y-o-y). It soared in the “other manufacturing” (+4.8%), in the electrical and electronic equipment and machine equipment (+8.4%) and in the manufacture of transport equipment (+3.9%).

Please note: all the data are adjusted for seasonal variations (SA) and the number of working days (WDA).

… in the manufacture of electrical or electronic equipment and machine equipment (+2.3%) …

The output increased in the manufacture of machinery and equipment n.e.c. (+2.5%), in the manufacture of electrical equipment (+3.0%) and in the manufacture of computer, electronic and optical products (+1.2%).

… as well as in the manufacture of transport equipment (+2.6%)

The output increased in the manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers and in the manufacture of other transport equipment (+2.5%).

Revisions : -0.11 point in April

In April 2011, the manufacturing output was barely stable (+0.1%)

The revisions are due to the revision of raw series in the manufacture of computer, electronic and optical products and in 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 March and April is revised by -0.11 point : -0.38 is due to the raw serie's revision and 0.27 to the new calculation of the SA-WDA.
