Economic indicators
Production in industry: April 2020

In April 2020, the lockdown measures due to the Covid-19 crisis had a significant impact on the industrial production. The seasonally adjusted production index reflected a decrease of 15.5% compared to March 2020. The calendar adjusted production index reflected a decrease of 23.9% compared to April 2019.

The results for April 2020 are provisional. As the response rate to the monthly survey is lower than usual, larger revisions of the indices can be expected over the next two months.
