In September 2025, industrial production in the Czech Republic experienced a 0.4% increase compared to the previous year. This marks a significant recovery from the 1.3% decline observed in August and surpasses market predictions of a 0.2% decrease. Notably, manufacturing output showed a resurgence, growing by 1.7% after a similar drop in the previous month. This improvement was largely fueled by an uptick in the production of metal structures and products, rubber and plastic goods, as well as electrical equipment. Conversely, the output in mining and quarrying continued to fall, dropping by 19.3% compared to a 12.6% decline previously, and there was a further decrease in electricity, gas, steam, and air-conditioning supply, which fell by 9.2% versus a prior 5.8% decline. Adjusted for seasonal variations, industrial activity rose by 1.1% on a monthly basis in September, bouncing back from a 1.1% decrease in the preceding month.
