Industrial production slowed in Greece in September

Greece’s industrial production growth slowed sharply in September, with output rising just 0.6% year over year after August’s figure was revised upward to 6.3%, according to the latest data. The deceleration marks a significant loss of momentum for the country’s manufacturing sector, which had been expanding at a much faster pace in the prior month. The revision to August’s reading makes the September slowdown appear even more pronounced, highlighting volatility in the monthly data series. The figures matter for gauging the durability of Greece’s industrial recovery amid broader eurozone weakness. Next, investors will watch whether the slowdown extends into the fourth quarter and whether upcoming industrial data confirm a temporary soft patch or a sustained downturn.
