Ireland boasted the fastest year-on-year growth in seasonally-adjusted industrial production in the 27-nation bloc in November, at 34.9 percent, followed by Malta in second place, with 15.5 percent, and Denmark in third place, with 9.3 percent, according to the Eurostat agency.
Among member states for which data were available, Estonia reported the steepest year-on-year decrease in industrial production in November, at 12.2 percent, while Slovenia recorded a 10.7 percent drop, the agency's data showed.
The agency said seasonally-adjusted industrial production in the EU as a whole rose by 2 percent in November in year-on-year terms.
Poland’s statistics office, which uses a different methodology, reported last month that Polish industrial production rose 4.6 percent in November compared with the same month a year earlier. When adjusted for seasonal factors, the increase was 4.4 percent, the state-run Statistics Poland (GUS) agency said.
