Of which, 3/4 of level I industries (including: processing and manufacturing industries; electricity production and distribution; water supply and wastewater and waste treatment) increased compared to the same period last year with the increases are: 8.5%; 13% and 6.3%.

Many important industries in the processing and manufacturing industry in the first six months of 2024 increased compared to the same period last year. In particular, the manufacturing industry of electronic products, computers and optical products - one of our country's key export industries in recent times, has had the clearest recovery, with an increase of 0.3% in the first quarter, the second quarter increased by 17.4%, the first six months of the year increased by 8.6%.
In the processing and manufacturing industry, product inventories decreased, reflected in the increased production index, the consumption index increased higher than production, and the inventory index decreased. Specifically, the production index increased by 8.5%, the consumption index increased by 10.8% (the increase in the consumption index was 2.3% higher than the production index), the inventory index at the time of production increased by 10.8%.
