FX.co ★ Brazil’s Industrial Output Slides Further in September, Deepening Monthly Contraction

Brazil’s industrial production weakened again in September 2026, with output falling 0.8% month-over-month, according to data updated on 5 November 2026. The fresh decline marks a deeper contraction than in August 2026, when production had already slipped by 0.6% on a monthly basis.

The month‑over‑month comparison shows that the industrial sector not only failed to stabilize but accelerated its downturn, as September’s drop surpassed the previous month’s decline. In this framework, the “actual” figure represents the change in September relative to August, while the “previous” figure reflects August’s change compared with July, underscoring a two‑month run of negative momentum for Brazilian industry.
