Brazil’s industrial production posts modest first-half gain

August 1, 2017 by

Brazil’s industrial production posted a modest first-half gain of 0.5% over the first half of 2016, the Brazilian Census Bureau (IBGE) said Tuesday. Big-ticket items still tended to lag while more popular categories such as food packaging tended to gain. June showed stable production against May, a disappointing outcome following two months of solid gains for industrial output in April and May. Economists are hoping that tame inflation and lower interest rates will help re-boot manufacturing in the second half of 2017. Other positive factors for manufacturers include lower unemployment and a steep rise in exports.
