2016- n° 56In December 2015, the turnover fell back in the manufacturing industry (–1.1%) Turnover in industry and construction - December 2015
In December 2015, the turnover fell back in the manufacturing industry (–1.1%, after +1.3% in November). Exports declined too (–0.6%, after +1.4%).
Warning: From the release of the indices for January 2016, on March 31, 2016, the turnover index series will be produced according to a new process, that improve their quality. The series will be recalculated over the period 1999-2015. Further information concerning these changes is available on the Web page of this index.
In December 2015, the turnover fell back in the manufacturing industry (–1.1%, after +1.3% in November). Exports declined too (–0.6%, after +1.4%).
In the industry as a whole, the turnover decreased as well (–1.0%, after +1.1%).
Decline over the fourth quarter (−0.4%)
Over the fourth quarter of 2015, the turnover went down by 0.4%, compared to the third quarter, both in the manufacturing industry and in the industry as a whole.
The turnover dropped considerably in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (−5.2%). It fell, to a lesser extent, in the manufacture of food products and beverages (−1.1%), in the mining and quarrying; energy; water supply (–0.7%) and in the electrical and electronic equipment; machine equipment (−0.4%). On the contrary, the turnover grew in the manufacture of transport equipment (+0.9%). It remained virtually stable in other manufacturing (+0.1%).
Slight rise over the year (+0.2%)
In the manufacturing industry, the turnover went up slightly over the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to the fourth quarter of 2014 (+0.2%, y-o-y). It climbed more substantially in the industry as a whole (+0.6%) owed to a sharp rise in the mining and quarrying; energy; water supply; waste management (+2.2%).
Over this period, the turnover slumped in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (−18.3%), due to the fall of producer prices. On the contrary, it improved sharply in the manufacture of transport equipment (+6.9%), and more moderately in the electrical and electronic equipment; machine equipment (+1.3%). It remained virtually stable in the manufacture of food products and beverages (–0.1%) and it levelled off in other manufacturing.

Sharp downturn in transport equipment (–3.0%)
In December 2015, the turnover in the manufacture of transport equipment slipped back sharply (–3.0%, after +2.6% in November), in spite of a new rise in exports (+2.0%, after +3.3%). This decline was owed both to the manufacture of transport equipment (–2.7%) and to the manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers (–3.4%, following a rise for four months in a row).
Drop in food products and beverages (–1.6%)
The turnover fell back in December in the manufacture of food products and beverages (–1.6%, after +1.7% in November).
Sharp decline in coke and refined petroleum products (–3.4%)
