Decrease in manufacturing

Production in manufacturing decreased by 1.2 per cent from May to July 2011 compared with the previous three-month period, according to seasonally-adjusted figures.

Industries like wood and wood products and basic metals had a downturn in production in the last period, together with repair and installation of machinery. Ships, boats and oil platforms and machinery and equipment had an increase in production due to growth in new and unfilled orders ( see statistics on new orders ). Food products also had a growth in production from May to July 2011 compared with the previous three-month period.

Interpretation of seasonally-adjusted figures

In order to facilitate the interpretation of the short-term development, the index of production publishes three-month moving averages of the seasonally-adjusted figures. We normally compare the latest non-overlapping three-month periods, for instance May to July 2011 compared with February to April 2011. Seasonally-adjusted monthly changes must be interpreted with caution.
