With the 13.1% high of the national industrial production, 13 of the 15 places surveyed had positive rates from May to June 2018, in the seasonally-adjusted series.

The greatest highs were in Paraná (28.4%), Mato Grosso (25.6%), Goiás (20.8%), Rio Grande do Sul (17.0%), Santa Catarina (16.8%), São Paulo (14.8%) and Pernambuco (13.5%). The other places with positive indexes were the Northeast Region (12.3%), Bahia (11.6%), Minas Gerais (7.1%), Ceará (6.8%), Pará (2.8%) and Rio de Janeiro (2.2%). On the other hand, the two decreases of June were in Espírito Santo (-2.0%) and Amazonas (-1.1).

In the seasonally-adjusted series, the quarterly moving average index (0.5%) was positive in 11 of the 15 places surveyed, with a highlight to Paraná (2.6%), Pernambuco (2.2%), Northeast Region (1.9%) and Pará (1.4%). The most intense falls were in Amazonas (-3.0%), Mato Grosso (-1.1%) and Espírito Santo (-1.0%).

In comparison with the same month of 2017, the industrial sector grew in 11 of the 15 surveyed places. The highest increases occurred in Pará (13.3%), driven by mining and quarrying industries (raw or processed iron ores); in Pernambuco (10.0%), with an increase in food products, metal products, non-metallic mineral products and electrical machinery, appliances and materials; in Paraná (9.7%), with high of motor vehicles, trailers and bodies and coke, petroleum products and biofuels; and in Bahia (9.0%), with  highlight to motor vehicles, trailers and bodies and metallurgy. The Northeast Region (6.6%), Amazonas (4.2%) and São Paulo (4.0%) also registered positive rates above the national average (3.5%), while Santa Catarina (3.5%), Rio de Janeiro (2.2%), Rio Grande do Sul (1.1%) and Minas Gerais (0.4%) completed the set ofhigh production places.

Espírito Santo (-7.3%) showed the biggest drop, driven by the negative behavior of the mining and querrying industries, non-metallic mineral products and food products. Ceará (-3.6%), Goiás (-2.1%) and Mato Grosso (-0.1%) also had negative rates compared to June 2017. 

In the second quarter of 2018, there was a reduction in the industrial production in ten of the 15 surveyed areas, most notably Amazonas, which increased from 24.3% in the first quarter to 7.2% in the second, Ceará (from 3.6% to -2.9%), Goiás (from -0.5% to -5.0%), Pará (from 9.3% to 6.6%), Santa Catarina (from 4.9% to 3.0%), Bahia (from 1.3% to -0.5%) and Mato Grosso (from 0.6% to -0.9%). Pernambuco (from 1.2% to 6.0%), Paraná (from -1.3% to 3.1%) and Minas Gerais (from -2.9% to -0.8%) had the highest gains between the two periods.

In the cumulative result of the year, compared to the same period of the previous year, there was growth in ten of the 15 places surveyed, with a highlight to Amazonas (15.6%). Pará (7.9%), São Paulo (4.8%), Santa Catarina (3.9%), Pernambuco (3.4%) and Rio de Janeiro (3.4%) also recorded increases above the national average (0.3%), while Paraná (1.0%), Bahia (0.4%), Rio Grande do Sul (0.3%) and Ceará (0.3%) completed the set with positive results. In these places, the greatest dynamism was particularly influenced by factors related to the expansion in the production of capital goods, intermediate goods, durable consumer goods and semi- and non-durable consumer goods.

Espírito Santo (-5.5%) and Goiás (-3.2%) had the most intense falls in the cumulative index in the year:the former because of the negative behavior of non-metallic mineral products, mining and quarrying industries and pulp, paper and paper products, and the latter, because of food products. Minas Gerais (-1.7%), the Northeast Region (-0.3%) and Mato Grosso (-0.2%) also had falls.

In the cumulative index in the last 12 months, following the national industry movement (from 3.0% in May to 3.2% in June), 12 of the 15 places surveyed grew, but only eight increased their dynamism compared to May. Bahia (from 0.2% to 1.8%), the Northeast (from -0.6% to 0.3%), Pernambuco (from -0.3% to 0.6%), Paraná (from 2.1% to 2.8%) and Pará (from 9.4% to 9.9%) had the highest rate gains between May and June 2018, while Espírito Santo (from -1.9% to -3.3% %) and Ceará (from 3.0% to 2.3%) recorded the main losses.
