In May 2015, the turnover increased in the manufacturing industry (+1.2%), after a decrease in April (–0.5%). Exports grew slightly (+0.2%, after +2.5%).

In the industry as a whole, the turnover rebounded as well (+1.2%, after –0.7%).

Over the last three months, the turnover went up in the manufacturing industry (+0.7% q-o-q) as well as in the industry as a whole (+0.9%).

The turnover grew sharply in the manufacture of transport equipment (+4.0%), mainly in the manufacture of other transport equipment (+5.7%). It also increased, more slightly, in the electrical and electronic equipment; machine equipment (+0.5%). On the other hand, it declined in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (–0.6%). It levelled off in other manufacturing (+0.1%), with a rise in other manufacturing: repair and installation of machinery and equipment (+1.1%) but a fall in the manufacture of basic metals and fabricated metal products (–0.8%). It stabilized too in the manufacture of food products and beverages (+0.1%).

The turnover went up over the last three months, compared to the same months of previous year in the manufacturing industry (+0.5% y-o-y) and even more in the industry as a whole (+1.0%).

Over this period, the turnover took off in the manufacture of transport equipment (+8.5%). It also climbed in the electrical and electronic equipment; machine equipment (+0.7%). Conversely, it crashed in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (–15.4%). It went down in the manufacture of food products and beverages (–0.6%). Il flattened out in other manufacturing (+0.1%).

The turnover in the manufacture of transport equipment recovered sharply in May (+3.8%), after a fall for two months in a row. It climbed substantially in the manufacture of other transport equipment (+4.9%) and patently in the manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers (+2.0%). Exports grew once more (+0.6%), but much less than the previous month (+14.6%).

In May, the turnover bounced back considerably in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (+5.6%) after a decrease for two months in a row.

In May, the turnover increased in other manufacturing (+0.4%), after a slight fall in April (–0.3%). It grew mainly in other manufacturing: repair and installation of machinery and equipment (+1.0%) and in the manufacture of rubber and plastic products, and other non-metallic mineral products (+0.7%). Conversely, it declined in the manufacture of basic pharmaceutical products and pharmaceutical preparations (–1.2%).

The turnover dipped again in May in the electrical and electronic equipment; machine equipment (+0.8%, after +1.0% in April). It went up in the manufacture of electrical equipment (+1.6%), in the manufacture of computer, electronic and optical products (+1.0%) and in the manufacture of machinery and equipment n.e.c. (+0.3%).

The turnover in the manufacture of food products and beverages dropped slightly in May (–0.2%), after a more significant declined in April (–0.8%).

In the manufacturing industry, the decrease of the turnover in April 2015 is confirmed at –0.5%. The decline is confirmed as well in the industry as a whole (–0.7%).
