INE reports growth in service and industrial turnover

Data from the National Institute of Statistics (INE) shows growth in both the service and industrial sectors. The service sector turnover index grew by 4.1% in the second quarter compared to the same period in 2025. In June, the index recorded a nominal year-on-year variation of 4.6%, driven significantly by consulting, scientific, and technical activities, which grew by 15.9%.

In the industrial sector, the turnover index grew by 6.5% in June, a slight deceleration from May. Excluding the energy group, industrial turnover stood at 5.1%. Domestic market sales increased by 9.0% in June, while external market growth slowed to 2.1%. During the second quarter, industrial sales rose by 7.5% year-on-year, largely reflecting price acceleration. Intermediate goods and energy were the primary contributors to this variation.
