Statisticians: Czech industrial production grew by 11.4 percent in June

June saw Czech industrial production grow in real terms by 11.4 percent, year-on-year, the Czech Statistics Agency announced on Friday. In month-on-month comparison, it was 1 percent higher than in May.

The metal construction sector saw a 21 percent rise in production numbers and was most responsible for the rise in growth in June. However, in the automotive industry, statisticians saw growth fall for the second successive month.

According to the Director of the Agricultural and Forestry, Industrial, Construction, and Energy Statistics Department of the Czech Statistics Agency Radek Matějka, the double-digit year-on-year increase of industrial production was influenced by a low comparison basis. Czech industrial production in the first half-year of 2021 was 15% higher than in 2020 and reached pre-pandemic levels.
