Worsening of epidemiological situation and introduction of additional measures aimed at prevention of the transmission of the COVID-19 did not affect the industrial production of the Republic of Croatia in October. The working-day adjusted industrial production in October 2021 increased by 2.7% compared to October 2020. Compared to September 2021, the total seasonally and working-day adjusted industrial production increased by 1.9%.
Observing the annual growth rates according to the Main Industrial Groupings (MIGs 2009), industrial production increased in four out of five aggregates. The largest increase was recorded in Energy (AE), of 10.4%, primarily in division 35 Electricity, gas, steam and conditioning supply, which increased by 13.5%. The increase was also recorded in the following aggregates: Durable consumer goods (CD), by 8.7%, Capital goods (BB), of 3.7%, and Non-durable consumer goods (CN), of 3.4%. Industrial production only decreased in Intermediate goods (AI), by as much as 3.1%.
