2014- n° 132In April 2014, manufacturing output rebounded slightly (+0.3%) Industrial production index - April 2014
In April 2014, manufacturing output rebounded slightly by 0.3%, after a drop in March (–0.4%). Output increased as well in industrial production as a whole (+0.3%, after –0.4% in March 2014).
In April 2014, manufacturing output rebounded slightly by 0.3%, after a drop in March (–0.4%). Output increased as well in industrial production as a whole (+0.3%, after –0.4% in March 2014).
Manufacturing output of the last three months improved by 0.5% in the quarter…
During the last three months (q-o-q), output improved in the manufacturing sector (+0.5%), but declined in industry as a whole (–0.6%) due to a slump in electricity, gas, steam and air-conditioning.
Output rose in other manufacturing (+0.7%), in the manufacture of transport equipment (+0.6%), in the manufacture of food products and beverages (+0.5%) and, in a more sustained pace, in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (+4.0%). On the other hand, output declined in the manufacture of electrical and electronic equipment; machine equipment (–0.8%).
… and progressed by 1.1% over the year.
Manufacturing output went up by 1.1% (y-o-y).
Output increased in other manufacturing (+1.2%), and soared in the manufacture of transport equipment (+4.3%). It increased more moderately in the manufacture of food products and beverages (+1.0%). On the opposite, output plummeted in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (–8.9%) and diminished in the manufacture of electrical and electronic equipment; machine equipment (–0.7%).
Please note: all the series are adjusted for seasonal variations (SA) and the number of working days (WDA).
