Lithuanian industrial production fell an adjusted 1.2% y/y in August, according to data from Statistics Lithuania released on September 21.
 
The contraction was deeper than July’s fall of 0.7%, with August proving a fourth consecutive month in which output fell, extending worries on economic growth in the Baltic state.

In monthly terms, industrial production fell an adjusted 2% in August. On an unadjusted basis, annual production decreased 1.6% in the eighth month of the year, while unadjusted monthly output dipped 0.8%. Output totalled €1.49bn in nominal terms, minimally less than the €1.5bn the previous month.

Most sectors saw output fall on an adjusted annual basis in June. Manufacturing output fell 1.3%, accelerating from a drop of just 0.2% the previous month. Mining and quarrying, on the other hand, advanced 7.4% y/y, faster than July’s growth of 2.7%.
