In November 2025, Romania experienced a 0.5% decline in industrial production compared to the same month the previous year. This followed a revised increase of 0.3% in October. The downturn was primarily driven by a 1.0% decrease in the manufacturing sector, which had previously seen a marginal 0.3% decline. Specific areas that faced declines included the production of coke and refined petroleum products, the printing and reproduction of recorded media, non-metallic mineral products, chemical products, basic metals, and electrical equipment. Furthermore, the growth in electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning supply notably eased to 1.4%, down from 6.0%. Conversely, the mining and quarrying sector showed signs of recovery, increasing by 0.3% after experiencing a 4.1% drop in October, buoyed by a rise in metal ores production and a slower decrease in crude petroleum, natural gas, and other mining activities. On a month-to-month comparison, industrial output in November fell by 0.7%, counteracting a revised increase of 0.5% recorded in the previous month.
