Industrial Production by Country
Industrial production measures the real output of the manufacturing, mining, and utilities sectors, indexed to a base year. It is reported monthly and is one of the highest-frequency direct measurements of physical economic activity.
Why compare Industrial Production across countries?
Industrial production is a workhorse hard-data input for GDP nowcasts and is particularly important for export-heavy currencies (EUR, JPY, KRW, CNY). Cyclical turning points in industrial production often lead the broader economic cycle by one to two quarters.
How to read the country list
Read the year-over-year change first to filter monthly noise, then the month-over-month for direction. Capacity utilisation (when published alongside) tells you how much spare capacity remains before bottlenecks fuel inflation.
