Output fell back in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (−4.3% after +6.0%)
Output plummeted in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (−4.3% after +6.0%), due to the shutdown of a refinery.
Output rose slightly in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (+0.2% after +0.6%)
Output bounced back in the manufacture of machinery and equipment n.e.c. (+3.9% after −6.7%). By contrast, it slipped back in the manufacture of computer, electronic and optical products (−2.2% after +5.3%) and in that of electrical equipment (−1.9% after +6.8%).
