2012- n° 93In February 2012, manufacturing output strongly decreased (-1.2%) while output in
total industry was stabilized by the cold spell (+0.3%) Industrial production index - February 2012
In February 2012, manufacturing output strongly decreased in volume (-1.2%). It was almost stable in January (-0.1%). Output increased in total industry (+0.3%) because energy consumption soared in February with the cold spell.
In February 2012, manufacturing output strongly decreased in volume (-1.2%). It was almost stable in January (-0.1%).
Output increased in total industry (+0.3%) because energy consumption soared in February with the cold spell.
During the last quarter, manufacturing output decreased (-1.1%)…
During the last quarter (quarter-on-quarter change), output decreased in the manufacturing sector (-1.1%) as well as in the industry as a whole (-0.5%).
Output decreased in the “other manufacturing” (-1.2%), in the manufacture of food products and beverages (-0.8 %), in the manufacture of transport equipment ( 0.7%).
The huge decrease in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (-7.2%) is due to the closing of refineries for maintenance.
…and was lower than its last year’s level by 1.6%
Manufacturing output decreased by 1.6% (y-o-y).
It decreased in the “other manufacturing“ (-2.0%), in the manufacture of transport equipment (-2.7%) and in a more sustained pace in the manufacture of electrical and electronic equipment and machine equipment (-0.4 %). It strongly decreased in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (-13.1%), due to the closing of the refinery of Petite-Couronne.
