Industrial Production Moderated But Manufacturing Activities Picked Up In June, Real GDP To Slow In 2Q Industrial production growth moderated slightly to of 4.3% y-o-y in June, from +4.5% in May but stronger compared with +4.0% in April. This was mainly reflected in a decline in the electricity output and a slowdown in mining production, but was partly mitigated by a pick-up in manufacturing output, on the back of a resurgence in manufactured exports that is led by the electronics sector.
