Production volume decreased in the majority of the manufacturing subsections (between 1.6% – 31.8%), to the largest extent in the small weight representing coke production and petroleum refining subsection. Production in the electronics industry, accounting for 14% of manufacturing output grew by 16%. Among the two other large weight representing subsections a 5.7% volume growth occurred in the manufacture of transport equipment, the food industry registered a 1.6% setback year-on-year.
