Economy increased by 2.2 percent in the third quarter of 2016 compared to the same period of previous year while analysts anticipated only 2 percent growth. Better than expected GDP was mainly supported by market services and agriculture growth.
Industrial production for October came out below market expectations and reached -2.1 percent y/y. Industrial production fell for the second consecutive month in year-on-year terms in October. A bit worrying may be the fact that production declined in almost all industrial sectors incl. car industry.
