In September 2011, manufacturing output sharply decreased (-1.6%)

In September 2011, manufacturing output sharply decreased in volume (-1.6%). It had increased in August 2011 (+0.6%).

In overall industrial production, output decreased as well (-1.7%), as well as in the construction (-5.8%).

However, in the last three months, manufacturing output increased (+0.5%)…

In the last three months (quarter-on-quarter change), output increased in the manufacturing sector (+0.5%, q o-q) and in the industry as a whole (+0.8%).

Output increased in the electrical, electronic equipment and machine equipment (+2.2%) and was relatively steady in the “other manufacturing” (+0.3%). On the opposite, it decreased in the manufacture of transport equipment (-0.7%).

…and exceeded its last year’s level by 4.2%

Manufacturing output rose by 4.2% (y-o-y).

It strongly increased in the “other manufacturing” (+3.9%), in the electrical and electronic equipment and machine equipment (+7.5%), in the manufacture of food products and beverages (+3.9%) and in the manufacture of transport equipment (+3.6%).

On the other hand, output strongly decreased in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products ( 8.6%).

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