Germany leads in hours worked in the European fabricated metal products sector, followed by Italy and the UK. While Germany and Poland exhibit marginal growth, Italy and Spain experience reductions in hours worked. Eastern European countries, notably Romania and Bosnia and Herzegovina, show significant positive year-on-year variations.
