Saudi Arabia’s Industrial Production Index (IPI) rose 7.1% YoY in August to 114.17 points, from 106.57 points a year earlier

Saudi Arabia’s Industrial Production Index (IPI) rose 7.1% year-on-year (YoY) in Augustto 114.17 points, from 106.57 points a year earlier, the General Authority for Statistics (GASTAT) said.
GASTAT attributed the increase to higher activity in mining and quarrying, manufacturing, electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning supply, as well as water supply, sewage, and waste management activities.

The IPI measures the relative change in production quantities of materials and goods, tracking their transformation from raw materials to final consumable products for economic returns.
