Latvia’s industrial sector moved back into contraction in June 2026, with production falling 0.8% month-over-month, according to data updated on 4 August 2026. The decline follows a revised 0.4% increase in May 2026, highlighting renewed weakness after a brief period of modest growth.
The month-over-month comparison shows that momentum in Latvian industry has cooled notably as the modest expansion recorded in May gave way to a clear pullback in June. The current figure reflects the change in output from May to June, while the previous reading captured the shift from April to May, underlining a turn in the short-term trend. Investors and policymakers will be watching upcoming releases closely to determine whether June’s drop proves temporary or signals a more persistent slowdown in industrial activity.
