The commentary shows variations of subsections by decreasing contribution to the overall evolution. The contribution of a subsection depends on the extent of the change and on its weight.
In August 2017, the turnover in the manufacturing industry rose again but more modestly than in July (+0.3 % after +0.9%). It fell back slightly in export (−0.2% after +0.5%).
In industry as a whole, the turnover rose slightly as well (+0.4% after +0.9%).
Slight downturn over the last three months (−0.4%)
Over the last three months (June to August) compared with the previous three months, the turnover slipped back slightly in the manufacturing industry (−0.4%). It was virtually stable in the industry as a whole. In the manufacturing industry, the turnover fell back strongly in the manufacture of transport equipment (−3.2%) and in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (−4.7%). Conversely, it rose in “other manufacturing” (+0.6%), in the manufacture of food products and beverages (+0.6%) and in the machinery and equipment goods (+0.4%).
Sharp increase compared to the previous year (+6.3%)
In the manufacturing industry, the turnover rose sharply from the same three months of the previous year (+6.3%). This increase was even more marked in industry as a whole (+7.4%) due to the strong increase in the mining and quarrying, energy, water supply, waste management (+12.4%). Over this period, the turnover rose in every main sectors of the manufacturing industry − “other manufacturing” (+6.8%), the manufacture of transport equipment (+6.0%), the manufacture of food products and beverages (+4.6%), the machinery and equipment sector (+5.7%) and the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (+11.0%).

The turnover in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products fell again in August (−0.8%) but more moderately than in July (−2.8%).
Revisions
The variation in the turnover index in July 2017 has been revised upwards by 0.2 points in the manufacturing industry, at 0.9% instead of 0.7%, and by 0.3 points in industry as a whole, at 0.9% instead of 0.6%, mainly because of raw series revision.
