According to the report of the “Esra Preda” news site, quoting Tasnim, the comparison of the production quantity index in the industrial industry shows that at the end of 1995, this index has reached the index figure of 2013. In this way, the production of the industrial sector has returned to the level of 1990 after going through a 5-year recession. This is despite the fact that due to the negative growth of investment in recent years and due to the filling of empty capacities in the industry sector, significant growth of this sector is not expected in the coming years.
On the other hand, the comparison of the sub-sectors of the industry shows that only 10 of the 24 sub-sectors of this group have reached the production level of 1990, and the highest growth was related to the drug, beverage and food production sectors. Out of 14 sectors that had a negative growth, 7 sectors have witnessed a negative growth of more than 20%.
The most positive impact on large industrial workshops has been related to the sub-sectors of chemical products, food and basic metals. The most negative growth was related to motor vehicles and non-metallic minerals (glass-ceramic-tile).
In other words, a number of sub-sectors of the industry have grown more than the average and compensated for the lag of 14 other groups that had negative growth to reach the production level of 1990.
The estimates of the Majlis Research Center show that if the production level of 2013 returns to all the industrial units that are operating below their capacity, the growth of the added value of Sanat Group will increase to 6%. Considering the economic growth announced by the industry in the first 6 months of this year by the Statistics Center with 4% and the Central Bank with 4.8%; It is expected that the economic growth of the industrial sector will be 4.6 percent at the end of this year
