ROME, August 6, 2020
Italy's seasonally adjusted industrial production index increased by 8.2% compared with the previous month, said statistics agency ISTAT.
The rise followed a revised 41.6% jump in May, as the coronavirus lockdown was first lifted, and a drop of 20.5% in April, when most factories were shut down, a Reuters report said.
The change of the average of the last three months with respect to the previous three months was -17.5%, said ISTAT.
The calendar adjusted industrial production index decreased by 13.7% compared with June 2019 (calendar working days being 21 versus 20 days in June 2019).
The unadjusted industrial production index decreased by 11.0% compared with June 2019.
