The National Statistics Office (NSO) reports an improvement in industrial activity in the second quarter of 2025, particularly in the private sector, with a production capacity rate of over 75%. Despite growing demand and stable selling prices, nearly 30% of private companies and 7% of public companies experienced insufficient supplies of raw materials, leading to stock shortages of up to 29 days. Interruptions due to power outages were reported in approximately 13% of cases, lasting no longer than six days.

The water supply is considered satisfactory by all companies. The workforce has grown, although recruitment remains difficult for more than 20% of respondents, who nevertheless deem the level of staff qualifications to be adequate. The cash flow situation is perceived as “good” by more than a quarter of private companies, despite constraints related to expenses, debts, and collection times. Access to bank credit appears to be easy overall. Finally, nearly 30% of public companies and the majority of private companies reported equipment breakdowns due to obsolescence. The outlook for the third quarter of 2025 is optimistic, with forecasts of increased production, demand, and staffing levels.
