Manufacturing production increased by 0.9% in September compared with a year ago after contracting by a slightly revised 0.3% (0.2%) in August.
Higher production in the petroleum, chemical products, rubber and plastic products; and food and beverages divisions supported the improvement in manufacturing production.
These increases were offset by lower production in the motor vehicles, parts and accessories and other transport equipment; and basic iron and steel, non-ferrous metal products, metal products and machinery divisions.
