In August 2017, production in industry was up by 2.6% from the previous month on a price, seasonally and working day adjusted basis according to provisional data of the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis). In July 2017, the corrected figure shows a decrease of 0.1% (primary 0.0%) from June 2017.

In August 2017, production in industry excluding energy and construction was up by 3.2%. Within industry, the production of capital goods increased by 4.8% and the production of consumer goods by 2.1%. The production of intermediate goods showed an increase of 1.8%. Energy production was up by 1.7% in August 2017 and the production in construction decreased by 1.2%.

The Caixin China Composite PMI data (which covers both manufacturing and services) signalled a weaker expansion in total Chinese business activity at the end of the third quarter. Notably, the Composite Output Index fell from 52.4 in August to a three-month low of 51.4 in September.

The slowdown was driven by weaker increases in output at both manufacturing and services companies. A drop in the seasonally adjusted Caixin China General Services Business Activity Index from 52.7 to 50.6 in September pointed to only a marginal increase in services activity that was the slowest for 21 months. At the same time, growth in manufacturing production edged down to a three-month low.
