- Value of Production registers negative growth
Value of Production Index (VaPI) for the manufacturing industry slowed down by 0.1 percent in September 2006 compared with the year-ago figure, according to the preliminary results of the Monthly Integrated Survey of Selected Industries (MISSI). This was due to the two-digit decreases in production reported by the following major sectors: machinery excluding electrical, leather products, textiles, chemical products, publishing and printing, tobacco, petroleum products, wood and wood products and rubber products. Refer to Tables 1-A and 1.
On a monthly basis, VaPI dropped by 3.7 percent from its previous month�s (revised) increase of 4.4 percent. Sectors that made significant contributions to the decrease were the following: leather products, chemical products, rubber products, petroleum products, wood and wood products and machinery excluding electrical. Refer to Tables 1-A and 1.
- Volume of Production Index (VoPI) dips further
Volume of Production Index (VoPI) continued to tumble as it posted a decrease of 8.3 percent in September 2006. Thirteen (13) of the 20 major sectors reported decreases in factory output, with two-digit reductions observed in the following: machinery excluding electrical, leather products, textiles, footwear and wearing apparel, chemical products, rubber products, tobacco, wood and wood products, petroleum products, electrical machinery and publishing and printing. Refer to Tables 2 and 1-B.
VoPI on a monthly comparison also dipped by 3.5 percent from a positive growth (revised) of 5.4 percent in August 2006. Sectors that significantly pulled down production were the following: leather products, chemical products, rubber products, wood and wood products and machinery excluding electrical. Refer to Tables 2 and 1-B.
- Value of Net Sales maintains positive growth
On a yearly basis, Value of Net Sales grew by 2.0 percent in September 2006. Though six (6) major sectors posted two-digit decreases, this was offset by the two-digit growth in four (4) major sectors that sustained the positive sales performance of the manufacturing industry. Refer to Tables 2-A and 3.
On a month-on-month basis, Value of Net Sales continued to grow at a slower rate of 1.5 percent in September 2006, mainly due to the increases observed in eleven (11) major sectors. This was led by On a month-on-month basis, Value of Net Sales continued to grow at a slower rate of 1.5 percent in September 2006, mainly due to the increases observed in eleven (11) major sectors.
