Arrow keys move through the months, Home and End go to the first and the latest month, Escape returns to the latest.
Seasonally and working-day adjusted, 3-month average. Dashed: the latest 3 months, which CVR may still revise.
Read with care: Medicinal manufacturing (C21) is dominated by one firm, so its line and much of manufacturing's recent move are that firm's news.
