Latvia’s industrial sector recorded a strong rebound at the start of 2026, with industrial production rising 3.2% month-over-month in January, following a 0.8% decline in December 2025. The latest figures, updated on 6 March 2026, mark a clear turnaround from the previous month’s contraction.
The comparison is based on month-over-month dynamics, meaning January 2026 output is measured against December 2025, while the earlier reading captured the change from November to December. The shift from -0.8% to 3.2% suggests a notable improvement in industrial activity, indicating that the sector entered the new year on a stronger footing after a weak close to 2025.
