By bne IntelliNews November 11, 2013

Romania’s industrial production index increased by 8.8% y/y in Q3, gaining ground from 7.4% y/y in Q2 and 4.7% y/y in Q1, according to IntelliNews calculations based on statistics office data. In the core manufacturing sector, the annual growth accelerated to 10.2% y/y from 9% y/y in Q2 and 6.1% y/y in Q1.

In the Jan-Sep period, industrial production index advanced by 7% y/y – and by 8.5% y/y for the core manufacturing sector. The growth rates indicate a much better performance compared to the average 2012 data. Exports have visibly driven Romania’s industrial production, since they marked robust 7.9% y/y advance in Jan-Aug [latest available data] compared to slight 0.5% y/y contraction in 2012.

In September alone, the industrial production marked 10% y/y advance driven by 11.3% y/y annual growth in the core manufacturing. Most likely, the exports [to be released on November 11] have again supported industrial growth.
