IIP PUT AT 2.4% AS PRODUCTION STAYS SLUGGISH
Article Abstract:
The Central Statistical Organisation has stated that the index for industrial production (IIP) was 2.4 percent for August 1998 against a growth rate of 5.2 percent for August 1997. The cumulative growth of industry has declined to 3.5 in August 1998 against 5.5 percent in August 1997. The decline in growth is mainly due to the poor performance of the manufacturing sector, which accounts for about four-fifth of the total weight of the IIP. The manufacturing sector showed a growth of 2 percent in August 1998 against 4.8 percent in August 1997. The capital goods sector declared a negative growth rate of 1.6 percent while the consumer goods sector declined by 1 percent when compared to a growth of 4.1 percent in August 1997. (khr)
