Manufacturing returns to its June level, while total industrial output reaches its lowest level since May 2025, the institute says. Total industry had already declined 0.4% in August.

Production of electrical, electronic and computer equipment rises 2.6%, following 1.2%. These changes concern September: the publication date does not describe November's activity.
