Please note:

All series are seasonally (SA) and working-day adjusted (WDA).

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 August 2019, output diminished in the manufacturing industry (−0.8%, after +0.4%), as well as in the whole industry (−0.9%, after +0.3%).

Manufacturing output declined over the last three months (−1.2%)

Over the last three months, output declined in manufacturing industry (−1.2%), as well as in the whole industry (−0.9%).

Over the last three months, output decreased sharply in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (−3.3%) and in the manufacture of transport equipment (−1.6%), and more moderately in “other manufacturing” (−0.6%) and in the manufacture of food products and beverages (−0.7%). It decreased markedly in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (−6.9%). Conversely, it grew in mining and quarrying, energy, water supply (+0.6%).

Over a year, manufacturing output decreased (−0.8%)

Manufacturing output of the last three months got worse compared to the same three months of 2018 (−0.8%), as well as in the whole industry (−0.5%).

Over a year, output dipped in most activities: in the manufacture of transport equipment (−2.2%), in the manufacture of food products and beverages (−0.8%), in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (−10.3%), in “other manufacturing” (−0.2%) and in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (−0.7%). Conversely, output increased in mining and quarrying, energy, water supply (+1.0%).

In August, output diminished in “other manufacturing” (−1.0% after +0.7%)

Output fell markedly in pharmaceuticals (−7.0% after +6.6%) and in manufacturing of textiles, wearing apparel, leather and related products (−7.1% after −1.7%). It decreased more moderately in other manufacturing, repair and installation of machinery and equipment (−0.7% after +2.1%), in manufacturing of rubber and plastics products, and other non-metallic mineral products (−0.4% after +0.6%), in chemicals (−0.2% after −1.9%) and in the manufacture of wood, paper and printing industries (−0.2% after −2.4%). Conversely, it improved in the manufacture of basic metals and fabricated metal products (+1.8% after −0.1%).

Output declined in machinery and equipment goods (−2.2% after −0.1%)

Output fell in the manufacture of computer, electronic and optical products (−4.1% after a virtual stability) and in the manufacture of electrical equipment (−2.5% after −0.1%) while it was virtually stable in the manufacture of machinery and equipment n.e.c. (after −0.4%).

Output decreased in mining and quarrying, energy, water supply (−1.4% after +0.1%)

Output decreased in electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply (−0.9% after −0.4%).

Output increased in the manufacture of transport equipment (+0.5% after +0.7%)

Output grew again in the manufacture of “other transport equipment” (+1.7% after +2.7%), while it went down in the manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and semi−trailers (−1.0% after −1.9%).

Output was virtually stable in the manufacture of food products and beverages (+0.1% after −1.1%)

The increase in the manufacture of other food products and in the processing and preserving of meat and production of meat products offset the decline in the manufacture of beverages.

Output kept growing in petroleum and refined products (+1.5% after +5.7%)

Output kept growing in petroleum and refined products because of the return to a normal service of all refinery.
