Seasonally adjusted data (at constant prices) of the Central Statistical Bureau show that, in comparison with October 2012, industrial production in November 2012 increased by 1%,of which in mining and quarrying by 4.1% and in manufacturing by 3.5%, while in electricity and gas supply there was a decrease of 3%.

Industrial production volume index
(2005=100)

Rise in manufacturing was mainly due to the fruitful manufacture of products of wood (except furniture) - growth of 4.7%, repair and installation of machinery and equipment (repair and maintenance of ships and boats, repair of fabricated metal products, machinery and equipment, installation of industrial machinery and equipment) - increase of 18.4%, manufacture of non-metallic mineral products - rise of 19.7%, and manufacture of fabricated metal products - growth of 8.8%. Whereas decrease was recorded inmanufacture of other transport equipment (building of ships and boats, manufacture of railway locomotives and rolling stock) - of 46.3%, in manufacture of computer, electronic and optical products - of 15.9%, in manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers - of 5.2%, and in manufacture of textiles - of 4.9%.

Compared to November a year before, industrial production output in November 2012 (according to calendar adjusted data at constant prices) grew by 3.9%, of which in manufacturing - by 7.9%, while in mining and quarrying as well as in electricity and gas supply there was a decrease of 4.4% and 7.1%, respectively. Increase in the manufacturing turnover was mainly influenced by the sub-sectors engaged inmanufacture of basic metals, repair and installation of machinery and equipment and manufacture of non-metallic mineral products. Whereas drop in manufacturing was observed in manufacture of textiles - of 13.3%, in manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers - of 8.1%, and in manufacture of other transport equipment  - of 6.4%.
