Exports of vehicle production, representing 33 percent of manufacturing export sales, increased by 3.4 percent, and the production of electrical equipment, which accounted for 15 percent, increased by 5.1 percent.
The domestic sales of industry fell by 16.4 percent, and that of the manufacturing industry by 6.2 percent compared to the same month of the previous year.
The production of the manufacturing industry, which represents a decisive weight within the industry (96 percent), decreased by 6.1 percent, that of the minor mining industry by 31 percent, and that of the energy industry (electricity, gas, steam supply, air conditioning) by 24 percent.
