Comparison with July 2023

The 11.7% increase in the General Index of Industrial Turnover in July 2024, compared to the corresponding index for July 2023, came from:

A 49.7% increase in the Mining - Quarrying Index of Work Turnover. Changes in the indicators of the two-digit sectors—coal and lignite mining, crude oil and gas extraction, mining support activities, and mining of metallic ores—were primarily responsible for this increase.

11.4% increase in the Manufacturing Business Cycle Index. This increase was mainly driven by changes in the indicators of the two-digit industries: manufacture of electrical equipment, manufacture of tobacco products, manufacture of computer, electronic and optical products, manufacture of machinery and equipment, n.e.c., manufacture of chemicals and chemical products.
