The annual production growth in manufacturing eased to 4.1 percent from 10.8 percent. Electricity and gas supply output rose only 0.5 percent, while the downturn in mining and quarrying output deepened to 23.9 percent from 18.4 percent.
On a monthly basis, industrial production decreased a seasonally adjusted 2.4 percent in August, reversing a 1.5 percent increase a month ago. It was the first decline in five months.
