The cumulative figure for the period from the start of the year to May remains unchanged. Specifically, industrial production for January through May showed a decrease of 0.3 percentage points in 2025. The available statistics reveal significant fluctuations within the domestic industry.
The year began with notable declines, recording a 6.6 percentage points drop in January, followed by a 4.2 percentage points decrease in February. These were followed by a 3 percentage points growth in March and a substantial 7.6 percentage points increase in April. However, the data indicates that May once again brought a contraction in production.
The primary driver for the May figures was the performance recorded in April, which saw a 7.6 percentage points rise. Overall, the data highlights considerable volatility in industrial output throughout the first five months of the year.
