graphiqueMonthly Industrial Production Indices
In August 2021, output increased in “other manufacturing”
In August 2021, output bounced back in “other manufacturing” (+2.4% after –0.4%), in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (+1.8% after –0.3%), in mining and quarrying, energy, water supply (+0.5% after –1.0%) and in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum (+3.2% after –7.4%). However it fell back in the manufacture of food products and beverages (–1.6% after +1.7%) and in the manufacture of transport equipment (–1.6% after +7.0%).
In August 2021, output remained in decline compared to its February 2020 level in most industrial activities. It plummeted in the manufacture of transport equipment (−23.8%), both in the manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers (−20.1%) and in the manufacture of other transport equipment (−26.3%). It also diminished sharply in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum (−9.7%). Output declined more moderately in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (−2.6%), in “other manufacturing” (−1.5%) and in mining and quarrying, energy, water supply (−0.3%). Output in the manufacture of food products and beverages was above its February 2020 level (+0.9%).
