66.7% of the surveyed sectors grew in the annual comparison and 50.0% did so in the monthly comparison. The results arise from the SME Industrial Production Index (IPIP) prepared by CAME, with the observations of 394 industries.

“The domestic market, despite the price factor, remains firm, but exporting companies point out that they are having more problems placing their products abroad due to lower international demand. Although suppliers were normalizing deliveries, the firms consulted They noted that there are shortages and the increases in amounts from suppliers continue”said the SME entity in its report.
Finally, in Clothing and textiles there was a drop of 13% per year and 2.6% per month, due to increases in supplies such as threads, stamping, fabrics, inks, or latex, among others.
