2012- n° 143In April 2012, manufacturing output decreased (-0.7%) Industrial production index - April 2012
In April 2012, manufacturing output decreased in volume (-0.7%). It had strongly increased in March (+1.4%). Output increased in total industry (+1.5%), supported by electricity and gas consumption linked to relatively low temperatures in April.
In April 2012, manufacturing output decreased in volume (-0.7%). It had strongly increased in March (+1.4%).
Output increased in total industry (+1.5%), supported by electricity and gas consumption linked to relatively low temperatures in April.
During the last quarter, manufacturing output decreased (-0.7%)…
During the last quarter (quarter-on-quarter change), output decreased in the manufacturing sector (-0.7%) and increased in the industry as a whole (+0.4%).
Output decreased in the manufacture of electrical and electronic equipment (-1.5%), in the “other manufacturing” (-0.5%) and in the manufacture of transport equipment (-0.2%).
Again, the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (-11.7%) has suffered of closing for maintenance.
…and was lower than its last year’s level by 1.8%
Manufacturing output decreased by 1.8% (y-o-y).
It decreased in the “other manufacturing“ (-2.4%), in the manufacture of electrical and electronic equipment and machine equipment (-2.1%). The manufacture of transport equipment is almost unchanged (-0.3%). Output strongly decreased in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (-16.2%).

Output strongly decreased in the manufacture of transport equipment (-2.2%)
Output strongly decreased in the manufacture of other transport equipment (-4.7%). However, it moderately increased in the manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers (+0.3%).
Output also decreased in the « other manufacturing » (-0.6%)…
Output decreased in the manufacture of rubber and plastics products (-1.7%), in the manufacture of basic metals and fabricated metal products (-1.1%), in the manufacture of wood and paper products; printing and reproduction of record media (-1.4%) and less importantly in the manufacture of basic pharmaceutical products and pharmaceutical preparations (-0.5%). Meanwhile, it increased in the manufacture of chemicals and chemical products (+1.1%), in the other manufacturing, repair and installation of machinery and equipment (+0.6%) and in the manufacture of textiles. wearing apparel, leather and related products (+0.7%).
…and was almost stable in the manufacture of electrical and electronic equipment, machine equipment (-0.2%)
Output decreased in the manufacture of computer, electronic and optical products (-0.6%) and in the manufacture of machinery and equipment n.e.c. ( 0.4%). On the other hand, output slightly increased in the manufacture of electrical equipment (+0.2%).
By contrast, output strongly soared in mining and quarrying, energy, water supply, waste management
Output soared in the electricity, gas, steam and air-conditioning supply by 20.7%, due to climate’s harshness in April, following a very mild weather in March.
