Industrial Production And Manufacturing Sales Picked Up In August, But Still Point To More Moderate Growth In 2H 2014 Industrial production rose to 6.5% y-o-y in August, from +0.6% in July and compared with +7.0% in June. The reading was better than the median estimate of a 5.1% gain due to normalisation of manufacturing activities following a shorter working month in July. This was reflected in an improvement in manufacturing and electricityoutput, aided by a rebound in the production from the mining sector.
