Value of Production Index (VaPI) gains little headway in the 1994-based series

The Value of Production Index (VaPI) of the manufacturing industry in November 2001 gained 1.0 percent in the 1994-based series while the 1985-based series slowed down by 4.3 percent, according to the preliminary results of the Monthly Integrated Survey of Selected Industries (MISSI).

Value of Production Index (VaPI) exhibits growth

Value of Production Index (VaPI) of the manufacturing industry continued to pick up at 3.6 percent in October 2003 compared with year-ago figure, according to the preliminary results of the Monthly Integrated Survey of Selected Industries (MISSI). Basic metals led all sectors with an increase of 216.2 percent, followed by textile and miscellaneous manufactures sectors (see Table 1-A).

VaPI, on a month-on-month comparison, bounced back with a 2.2 percent g

Value of Production Index (VaPI) for total manufacturing grew at a slower rate of 6.6 percent in December 2010, according to the preliminary results of the Monthly Integrated Survey of Selected Industries (MISSI). This was mainly due to the slowdown in the growth of the food manufacturing sector. However, the major contributing sectors with significant increases in value of production were: miscellaneous manufactures (44.0%), petroleum products (24.4%), textiles (20.2%), basic metals (19.4%), fabricated metal products (15.9%), and beverages (11.2%).
