Industrial production falls at sharpest rate in over six years in March

Industrial output plummeted 12.7% year-on-year in March (February: +3.8% yoy), marking the steepest drop since November 2013. March’s plunge was primarily driven by heavy drops in manufacturing and water supply production.

Meanwhile, the trend pointed down, with the annual average growth of industrial production coming in at 1.1% in March, down from February’s 2.2%.
