Bulgaria boasted the fastest year-on-year growth in seasonally-adjusted industrial production in the EU in August, at 16.5 percent, followed by Lithuania in second place, with 14.4 percent, according to the Eurostat agency.

Among member states for which data were available, Belgium reported the steepest year-on-year decrease in industrial production in August, at 10.3 percent, while Luxembourg recorded a 2.5 percent drop, the agency's data showed.

The agency said seasonally-adjusted industrial production in the EU as a whole rose by 3.5 percent in August in year-on-year terms, while the single-currency euro area recorded a 2.5 percent increase.

Poland’s statistics office, which uses a different methodology, reported last month that Polish industrial production rose 10.9 percent in August compared with the same month a year earlier. When adjusted for seasonal factors, the increase was 11.2 percent, the state-run Statistics Poland (GUS) agency said.
