Romania’s industrial production contracted by 2.5% y/y in January, with a slightly milder decline of 2.3% y/y in the core manufacturing industries, the statistics office INS announced.
However, there are positive signs: the workday-adjusted industrial output increased by 2.1% y/y (reflecting the smaller workday count in January 2025 compared to 2024) and the seasonally- and workday-adjusted industrial production index (+2.5% m/m) remained on a positive path consolidated during H2 last year.
