Industrial production in the first eight months of the year decreased by 1.2% as gross series and by 2% as adjusted series compared to the same period in 2021, according to the data published on Wednesday by the National Statistics Institute.
This is as a result of decreases in the production and supply of electricity and thermal energy, gas, hot water and air conditioning (-6.6%), the extractive industry (-4.1%) and the processing industry (-0.1%).
Industrial production, series adjusted to the number of working days and seasonality, was further reduced by 2.0%, due to the decreases recorded in the three industrial sectors: the production and supply of electricity and thermal energy, gas, hot water and air conditioning (-6.5%), the extractive industry (-4.1%) and the processing industry (-1.0%), told Agerpres.
In August 2022, industrial production (gross series) decreased compared to the previous month by 7.9%, as a result of the decreases recorded in the three industrial sectors: the processing industry (-8.6%), the production and supply of electricity and thermal, gas, hot water and air conditioning (-6.0%) and the extractive industry (-1.5%).
Industrial production, series adjusted to the number of working days and seasonality, was higher compared to the previous month by 0.1%, due to the manufacturing industry (+0.8%). The production and supply of electricity and thermal energy, gas, hot water and air conditioning and the extractive industry decreased by 5.0% and 2.6%, respectively.
Compared to the corresponding month of the previous year, industrial production (gross series) decreased by 1.0%, due to the decreases recorded in the production and supply of electricity and thermal energy, gas, hot water and air conditioning (-8.5%) and the extractive industry (-2.9%).
Industrial production, series adjusted to the number of working days and seasonality, was further reduced by 0.3%, as an effect of the decreases in the production and supply of electricity and thermal energy, gas, hot water and air conditioning (-8, 0%) and the extractive industry (-2.7%). The processing industry grew by 1.1%.
