alue of Production Index (VaPI) for total manufacturing accelerated at a slower rate of 2.7 percent in June 2011, according to the preliminary results of the Monthly Integrated Survey of Selected Industries (MISSI). This was attributed to the slowdown in production values of the miscellaneous manufactures and chemical products. However, sectors contributing significant increases in value of production were observed in the following: furniture and fixtures, petroleum products, rubber and plastic products, beverages, paper and paper products, tobacco products and fabricated metal products. Refer to Tables 1-A and 1

Value of Production Index (VaPI) for total manufacturing increased at a slower rate of 9.6 percent in February 2011 compared with a year-ago figure, according to the preliminary results of the Monthly Integrated Survey of Selected Industries (MISSI). This was attributed to the slowdown in production values of the electrical machinery and textiles sectors. However, sectors contributing significant increases in value of production were observed in the following: miscellaneous manufactures, petroleum products, beverages, leather products, chemical products, rubber and plastic products, footwear and wearing apparel, basic metals and fabricated metal products. Refer to Tables 1-A and 1.

Value of Production Index (VaPI) jumps in July 2003

Value of Production Index (VaPI) of the manufacturing industry went up by 12.9 percent in July 2003 compared with year-ago figure, according to the preliminary results of the Monthly Integrated Survey of Selected Industries (MISSI). Fifteen (15) sectors which exhibited double-digit increases largely contributed to the expansion in production: basic metals, machinery excluding electrical, wood and wood products, miscellaneous manufactures, petroleum products, textile, nonmetallic mineral products, chemical products, food manufacturing and rubber products (see Table 1-A).

On a month-on-month comparison, VaPI recovered with a 1.9 percent impr
