rose 0.53% in June 2019, thus registering its second positive rate this year, underpinned by the 5.16% increase in the primary subsector, the National Institute of Statistics and Informatics (INEI) reported Wednesday.
This outcome was driven by a greater production of industrial segments such as the processing and preservation of fish, crustacean, and mollusks (10.06%); the fabrication of primary products of precious and other non-ferrous metals (4.17%); and the fabrication of products from oil refining (4.29%).
However, the non-primary manufacturing subsector decreased 1.33%, despite the greater demand for clothing.
"This unfavorable outcome was registered despite a greater demand for consumption goods," INEI expressed.
