Tras la fuerte caída de julio, la industria y la construcción repuntaron durante el mes de agosto

The article reveals a month-on-month recovery in the industrial and construction sectors, but highlights a deep structural weakness. Although there was a rebound in August following July’s declines, year-on-year comparisons confirm a broad-based contraction, particularly in manufacturing, indicating that the improvement was only cyclical and did not address the underlying downward trend. The relevance of these data for open data lies in the need for statistical transparency and analytical capacity. Official indicators enable us to unravel the causes of the crisis, such as competition from imports and the erosion of competitiveness due to currency appreciation. Without free access to this information, disaggregated by subsectors and time series, it would be impossible to understand the specific mechanisms that are deteriorating national production and domestic demand. In the construction sector, the situation is mixed: while key inputs show significant annual declines, the year-to-date figure suggests some stability in building permits. This divergence between material consumption and administrative activity underscores the importance of cross-referencing different open data sources. Only by integrating statistics on production, prices, and employment can we provide an accurate picture of economic health and facilitate accountability.
