Industry
Statistics on industry comprises three sections (mining and quarrying, manufacturing, energy industry). Extraction of natural minerals, transformation of basic materials and products into new products, electricity, gas, steam, hot water supply are defined as industrial activities. Beside industry significantly influencing economic performance, the division group also has an important role in employment. Industrial statistics offers information – beside production data – about sales directions (domestic and export sales) as well as about orders relating to industrial products and services and their change over time.

Hungary, 1st–3rd quarters 2019
In the 1st-3rd quarters of 2019 the performance increase of the Hungarian economy continued. The growth was a result on one hand of the performance of the industry, construction and certain service divisions (e.g. commerce, tourism), on the other hand of the strengthening of the consumer and investment activity. Beside the price level increase real earnings surpassed the previous year’s level. Due to fewer live births and basically unchanged death numbers natural decrease was higher than in the 1st-3rd quarters of 2018.
