KSH: Industrial output growth slows
Output growth of Hungary's vehicle manufacturing companies, which is considered to be an engine of growth in Hungary's industrial sector, slowed to 5.1% year-on-year in October from two-digit growth in September, the Central Statistics Office (KSH) reported today
Output of the computer, electronics and optical equipment segment, which also accounts for a big slice of the industrial sector, was effectively unchanged from a year earlier, KSH said. Output of food companies was down 0.2%, primarily on falling exports.
Total industrial output rose 1.7% year-on-year in October according to both unadjusted and workday-adjusted figures, KSH confirmed.
Domestic sales were down 2.4% year-on-year and export sales inched up 0.4%.
In a month-on-month comparison, industrial output fell 2.6% in October, adjusted for seasonal and workday effects.
In January-October, industrial output rose 7.8%, KSH confirmed.
