Although industrial production fell a seasonally adjusted 1.3 percent in June from the previous month, the recovery trend remains unchanged, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry said Thursday.
The index of output at mines and factories registered 100.7 in June against the base of 100 for 2000, the ministry said in a preliminary report. It was the first decline in four months.
The decline in production stemmed mainly from a 2.3 percent fall in the general machinery sector and a 3.3 percent drop in output of electrical machinery, it said.
