WARSAW--Poland's industrial output growth rose less than
expected in November in a slowing which continued for a second
consecutive month.
Output rose by an annual rate of 0.3% in November after a 1.6%
rise in October, Poland's statistics office said Wednesday, below
the 0.5% increase forecast in The Wall Street Journal survey of 15
bank economists.
Seasonally adjusted output grew 0.2% on the year in
November.
Output grew annually in 20 out of 34 categories, with
electronics production up 13%, furniture up 11.1% and machinery up
5.5%.
The sharpest declines were recorded in the production of other
transportation equipment, down 15.6%.
Construction output fell 1.6% on the year.
Polish producer prices declined at an annual rate of 1.6% in
November, the statistics office said. The figure was below a
forecast 1.2% decline and compared with a 1.3% revised drop in
October.
