On a yearly basis, the decline in calendar-adjusted industrial production deepened to 7.1 percent from 1.6 percent in November.

On unadjusted terms, industrial output was down 1.2 percent annually in December, following a notable 4.6 percent decrease in November.

Industrial production decreased 1.2 percent sequentially taking the annual fall to 3.9 percent in the fourth quarter.

In 2024, industrial production fell 3.5 percent from a year ago, which was bigger than the 2.0 percent decrease seen in 2023.
