Specifically, the General Industrial Turnover Index (covering both domestic and foreign markets) rose by 5.6% in December 2025 compared to the same month in 2024, following a 4.6% increase in the corresponding period of 2024 versus 2023.
On a monthly basis, the index recorded a significant increase of 9.3% compared to November 2025, driven in part by seasonal factors as well as improved activity in specific manufacturing sectors.
However, on an annual basis, the picture remains more subdued. The average General Industrial Turnover Index for the twelve months from January to December 2025 registered a marginal increase of 0.3% compared to the same period in 2024, following a 1.8% rise in the previous year.
The slowdown in the annual growth rate reflects the pressures faced by industrial activity throughout 2025, amid weaker European demand and rising production costs, despite the improvement recorded toward the end of the year.
