This marks a notable deterioration from the previous month's performance, which already showed a decrease of -2.7% compared to the same period the previous year.
The year-over-year comparison highlights a deepening slump in industrial production, posing concerns about the sector's resilience amidst challenging economic conditions. As the industry grapples with various hurdles, these figures suggest that the sector's struggles are far from over, warranting close attention from policymakers and industry stakeholders.
The observed contraction indicates underlying weaknesses that may require strategic intervention to prevent further decline.
