Industrial Production (IP) growth surprised on the upside in June 2012 as it gained +7.6% YoY (revised May 2012: +6.8% YoY; Consensus: +2.8% YoY), led by biomedical production. MoM, the seasonally adjusted IP grew by +3.9% (May 2012: +2.8%), while for the first half of this year, production was up +1.8% YoY (1H 2011: +6.5% YoY). Growth in 2Q 2012 was 4.5% YoY, better than the 3% YoY estimate made for the quarter's preliminary real GDP growth of +1.9% YoY and -1.1% annualized QoQ, offering some scope for a small upward revision to the final figure.
