Seasonally adjusted Capacity Utilization Rate (CUR-MA) throughout the manufacturing industry in September increased by 0.6 points compared to the previous month and reached 74.1 percent. The slackening in loans seems to be reflected in the industrial capacity.

The statement made by the CBRT is as follows:

“Seasonally adjusted Capacity Utilization Rate (CUR-MA) throughout the manufacturing industry increased by 0.6 points compared to the previous month and reached 74.1 percent.
“Capacity Utilization Rate (CUR), not adjusted for seasonal effects, increased by 0.7 points compared to the previous month and reached 74.2 percent.”
