The industrial production in the Republic of Croatia increased at the annual level despite the fact that epidemiological measures introduced to prevent the COVID-19 pandemic were still in effect in January 2021. The total working-day adjusted industrial production thus increased by 1.8% compared to January 2020. At the monthly level, compared to December 2020, the total seasonally and working-day adjusted industrial production increased by 1.5%.
The increase at the annual level was recorded in three out of five aggregates of the Main Industrial Groupings (MIGs 2009.). The largest increase was recorded in Energy (AE), of 9.6%, followed by Non-durable consumer goods (CN) with an increase of 4.2% and Capital goods with an increase of 2.2%.
Out of a total of 28 divisions of the National Classification of Activities, 2007 version (NKD 2007.), in January 2021 industrial production increased at the annual level in nine divisions. The largest increase was recorded in divisions 21 Manufacture of basic pharmaceutical products and pharmaceutical preparations, of 36.0%, and 25 Manufacture of fabricated metal products, except machinery and equipment, of 19.1%.
The calculation of the MIGs 2009. aggregates for the industrial production volume index was done by grouping of the NKD 2007. activities at the level of groups or divisions within divisions B, C and D (05.1 – 35.2) as follows, using alphabetic marks of abbreviations:
Al Intermediate goods: the NKD 2007. divisions and groups: 07 – 09, 10.6, 10.9, 13.1 – 13.3, 16, 17, 20.1 – 20.3, 20.5, 20.6, 22 – 24, 25.5 – 25.7, 25.9, 26.1, 26.8, 27.1 – 27.4 and 27.9
AE Energy: the NKD 2007. divisions: 05, 06, 19 and 35 (excluding 35.3)
BB Capital goods: the NKD 2007. divisions and groups: 25.1 – 25.4, 26.2, 26.3, 26.5, 26.6, 28, 29, 30.1 – 30.4, 32.5 and 33
CD Consumer durables: the NKD 2007. divisions and groups: 26.4, 26.7, 27.5, 30.9, 31, 32.1 and 32.2
