The less volatile three-month comparison shows production from March to May 2026 being 0.1% higher than in the three preceding months. Meanwhile compared to May 2025, output remained unchanged in May 2026 (0.0%) after calendar adjustment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\" data-v-6bf95c48=\"\">The main reason for the bump in May was due to a significant production increase in the automotive industry (+3.6%). Adding to that was also a notable positive contribution from construction output on the month (+0.9%). Besides that, production in energy-intensive industries (+0.2%) also saw a slight bump up on the month.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\" data-v-6bf95c48=\"\">The more concise overview shows that the production of capital goods increased by 1.3% and production of consumer goods by 1.2%. That adds to energy production which also increased by 0.8% in May. In contrast, the production of intermediate goods fell by 0.4%.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Industrial production +0.9% vs +0.2% m\/m expectedPrior +0.4%; revised to +0.2% That&#8217;s a modest bump up in German&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":678769,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[84,1294,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-678768","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-economy","tag-business","tag-economy","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/678768","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=678768"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/678768\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/678769"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=678768"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=678768"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=678768"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
