Year-over-year growth in United Kingdom's industrial production: factories, mines, and utilities. Industry is a minority of most modern economies but the majority of their cyclicality, which makes IP one of the most-watched monthly growth gauges: it turns earlier and swings harder than GDP. Sustained contraction alongside weak survey data typically marks a genuine industrial downturn. Data: production indexes via the OECD.
