In March 2013, manufacturing output decreased ( 1.0%), as well as in industrial production as a whole (-0.9%).

During the last quarter, manufacturing output decreased (-0.9%)…

During the last quarter (q-o-q), output decreased in the manufacturing sector (-0.9%), as well as industry as a whole (-0.4%).

Output declined in other manufacturing (-0.6%), in the manufacture of transport equipment (-2.4%), in the manufacture of food products and beverages (-2.1%) as well as in the manufacture of electrical and electronic equipment (-0.7%). On the contrary, output increased in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (+7.9%).

…and was lower than its last year’s level by 4.2%.

Manufacturing output fell by 4.2% (y-o-y).

Output went down sharply in other manufacturing (-3.8%), in the manufacture of transport equipment (-9.8%), in the manufacture of electrical and electronic equipment and machine equipment (-3.6%) and in the manufacture of food products and beverages (-2.6%). On the opposite, manufacturing output bounced by 4.8% in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products.
