MONTHLY INTEGRATED SURVEY OF SELECTED INDUSTRIES
SEPTEMBER 2001

Value of Production Index (VaPI) slowed down in 1994 and 1985-based series

Value of Production Index (VaPI) of the manufacturing industry in September 2001 registered single digit year-on-year increases both in 1994 and 1985-based series at 6.4 percent and 1.1 percent, respectively, according to the preliminary results of the Monthly Integrated Survey of Selected Industries (MISSI).

YEAR-ON-YEAR GROWTH RATES OF VaPI
TOTAL MANUFACTURING

Series	September 2001	August 2001 (revised)
1994-based	6.4	12.8
1985-based	1.1	9.9

Sectors that posted double-digit year-on-year increases in VaPI both in 1994 and 1985-based series were basic metals, petroleum products, beverages and transport equipment (see Annex 1-A).

On a month-on-month basis, VaPI declined by 3.6 percent and 6.1 percent in 1994 and 1985-based series, respectively. Wood products and transport equipment posted double-digit decreases from the previous month’s figures.

Volume of Production Index (VoPI) went down

The VoPI declined by 7.3 percent and 1.1 percent in the 1994-based and 1992-based series, respectively. Double-digit decreases for both series were observed in the following sectors: tobacco, paper and paper products, rubber products and wood products (see Annex 1-B).

YEAR-ON-YEAR GROWTH RATES OF VoPI
TOTAL MANUFACTURING

Series	September 2001	August 2001 (revised)
1994-based	-7.3	-1.6
1992-based	-1.1	7.0

Like the VaPI, VoPI showed the same sectors that posted double-digit decreases on a month-on-month basis for both 1994 and 1985-based series. These sectors were wood products and transport equipment.

Value of net sales also slowed down

The value of net sales in September 2001 increased by 6.1 percent and 6.2 percent over the same month last year in the 1994-based and 1985-based series, respectively. Basic metals and beverages posted double-digit increases in their value of net sales in both series (see Annex 2-A).

YEAR-ON-YEAR GROWTH RATES OF VALUE OF NET SALES
TOTAL MANUFACTURING

Series	September 2001	August 2001 (revised)
1994-based	6.1	9.1
1985-based	6.2	9.3

Volume of net sales declined in the 1994-based series

In the 1994-based series, the volume of net sales in September 2001 dipped by 1.9 percent from a positive growth of 0.3 percent during the previous month. This was due to the decline in 8 sectors led by electrical machinery and furniture & fixtures. On the other hand, volume of net sales in the 1992-based series increased by 2.4 percent due to the sustained growth of basic metals. Paper and paper products and rubber products registered double-digit decreases for both series (see Annex 2-B).

YEAR-ON-YEAR GROWTH RATES OF VOLUME OF NET SALES
TOTAL MANUFACTURING

Series	September 2001	August 2001 (revised)
1994-based	-1.9	0.3
1992-based	2.4	4.4

Producer's price index continued to post increases

Producer’s price index (PPI) for total manufacturing increased by 14.7 percent and 2.3 percent in the 1994 and 1992-based series, respectively. Double-digit year-on-year increases for both series were observed in the following sectors: tobacco, publishing and printing, glass and glass products, cement, and fabricated metal products.

YEAR-ON-YEAR GROWTH RATES OF PRODUCER’S PRICE INDEX
TOTAL MANUFACTURING

Series	September 2001	August 2001 (revised)
1994-based	14.7	14.7
1992-based	2.3	2.7

Capacity Utilization

The proportions of responding establishments that operated at full capacity (90%-100%) in September 2001 were 21.4 percent and 20.5 percent in the 1994 and 1985-based series, respectively. About 37.4 percent of the responding establishments operated at 70%-89% capacity in the 1994-based series, lower by 2.8 percentage points than the 1985-based series of 40.2 percent. Those operating below 70% capacity utilization accounted for 41.1 percent. This proportion is higher by 1.8 percentage than the 1985-based series.

70% - 79%	18.2	19.5
80% - 89%	19.2	20.7
90% - 100%	21.4	20.5

Average capacity utilization rate for September 2001 for total manufacturing was estimated at 77.0 percent in the 1994-based, 0.1 percentage point lower than the 1985-based series. Of the 20 sectors, four sectors posted more than 80% capacity utilization rates. Tobacco registered the highest capacity utilization rate of 89.7% and 84.1% in the 1994 and 1985-based series, respectively (see Annex 3-A).
