Lithuania boasted the fastest year-on-year growth in industrial production in the EU in November, at 17 percent, while Bulgaria trailed Poland in third place, with 13.3 percent, according to the Eurostat agency.
Among member states for which data were available, Ireland reported the steepest year-on-year decrease in industrial production in November, at 30.4 percent, while Malta recorded a 7.8 percent drop, the agency's data showed.
The agency said industrial production in the EU as a whole remained unchanged in November in year-on-year terms, while the euro area recorded a 1.5 percent decrease.
Poland’s Central Statistical Office (GUS), which uses a different methodology, reported last month that Polish industrial production rose 15.2 percent in November compared with the same month a year earlier.
