· Value of Production Index (VaPI) continued to slow down
Value of Production Index (VaPI) of the manufacturing industry in October 2001 registered single digit year-on-year increases both in 1994 and 1985-based series at 2.2 percent and 0.5 percent, respectively, according to the preliminary results of the Monthly Integrated Survey of Selected Industries (MISSI).

Only food manufacturing posted double-digit year-on-year increases both in 1994 and 1985-based series (see Annex 1-A).
On the other hand, VaPI continued to decline on a month-on-month basis at 1.1 percent in both the 1994 and 1985-based series, respectively. This was due to the double-digit decreases of beverage for both series.


· Volume of Production Index (VoPI) continued to decline
The VoPI declined further by 10.1 percent in the 1994-based series and showed a minimal decrease of 0.2 percent in the 1992-based series. Paper and paper products posted the highest decrease of 31.7 percent in the 1994-based series. Double-digit decreases for both series were observed in the following sectors: petroleum products, beverage, basic metals, non-metallic mineral products, paper and paper products, miscellaneous manufacture and rubber products (see Annex 1-B).
