“Despite only accounting for less than 11% of the
economy, the current strength of growth seen in
manufacturing means the sector will still provide a
major boost to the economy in October, boding well
for the strong pace of economic growth we saw in
the second and third quarter being sustained into
the fourth quarter. The survey suggests
manufacturing output is growing at a quarterly rate
of around 1%-1.5%. Said Rob Dobson, Senior economist at Markit
