The commentary shows variations of subsections by decreasing contribution. The contribution of a subsection depends on the extent of the change and on its weight.
In September 2015, output stagnated in the manufacturing industry (0.0% after +2.2% in August), and remained virtually stable in the industry as a whole (+0.1% after +1.7% in August).
Manufacturing output was almost unchanged over the third quarter of 2015 (+0.1%)
Over the third quarter of 2015, output remained virtually stable in the manufacturing sector (+0.1% q-o-q) and increased modestly in the overall industry (+0.4%). Output increased in mining, quarrying, energy and water supply (+1.5%), in the manufacture of transport equipment (+1.9%), in the manufacture of food products and beverages (+0.6%), as well as in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (+0.6%). Conversely, output decreased in the manufacture of electrical and electronic equipment; machine equipment (–0.9%). It held roughly stable in other manufacturing (–0.1%).
Over the year, manufacturing output increased (+0.6%)
Manufacturing output of the last three months increased compared to the same quarter of 2014 (+0.6% y-o-y); so did overall industrial output (+0.7% y-o-y).
Over the year, output increased moderately in other manufacturing (+0.5%). It rose more substantially in mining, quarrying, energy and water supply (+1.3%), in the manufacture of food products and beverages (+1.3%) and in the manufacture of transport equipment (+0.9%). It was virtually flat in the manufacture of electrical and electronic equipment (+0.1%). It went down in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (–1.0%).
