EEF comment on Industrial Production Figures

Commenting on today's IoP figures, EEF the manufacturers' organisation Senior Economist, Jeegar Kakkad, said:

"Industry is continuing to maintain its momentum and make up for lost ground during the recession, though there will be challenges in sustaining this against what is likely to be a similarly challenging start to 2011. As exports have supported growth through much of this year the outlook for demand in overseas markets, particularly developed ones, will be one factor in determining whether manufacturing will continue to drive the broader economic recovery."
