The index of industrial production (IIP) in May increased by 2.2% against the previous month, according to the General Statistics Office (GSO).
Compared to last year, the index inched up 0.1%, with power production and distribution as well as waste/waste water management and treatment expanding 5% and 6.8%, and processing-manufacturing and mining shrinking by 0.5% and 2.9%, respectively.
However, the IIP for the first five months of 2023 fell 2% over the same period in 2022 as the global economy continued to face numerous difficulties and the number of orders for exports declined.
Specifically, the sub-indexes of the processing-manufacturing dropped 2.5%, and mining fell 3.5%.
