The mining and quarrying sector saw the largest percentage increase, while the sector for the manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers, and semi-trailers experienced the largest percentage decrease in July 2024 compared to June 2024.
When comparing the indices of July 2024 regarding Greek industrial production with those of July 2023, the largest percentage increase was recorded in the tobacco product manufacturing sector, while the largest percentage decrease was seen in the coal and lignite mining sectors, crude oil and natural gas extraction, and support activities for mining.
