Latvia’s industrial sector strengthened in September 2026, with year-over-year production growth rising to 2.6%, up from 0.6% in August. The figures, updated on 4 November 2026, indicate a notable acceleration in activity compared with the same month a year earlier.
Both the current and previous readings are measured on a year-over-year basis, comparing each month’s industrial output to its level in the corresponding month of the prior year. While August had already shown modest annual growth, September’s stronger result suggests that momentum in Latvia’s industrial production has improved as the third quarter draws to a close.
The pickup in industrial output may signal firmer underlying demand and could support broader economic performance if the trend continues into the final quarter of 2026. However, the data release provides only the headline growth rates and does not break down performance by industry segment or export orientation.
