In November, capacity utilisation rate in manufacturing (C) was 83.2 per cent, or 1.9 percentage points higher than one year earlier. In the forest industry, capacity utilisation rate was 90.3 per cent in November, or 0.4 percentage points higher than in November 2015.

Revised data for November 2016 will be published at 9 am on 10 February 2017 in connection with the release of industrial output data for December 2016. The revision is influenced by the estimation used in the latest release, which concerns the periodic tax return data used for enterprises with fewer than 50 employees. Because of the method used, seasonally adjusted figures for previous months may change even if the original figures do not become revised. The seasonally adjusted figures will also be adjusted for working days.
