Printing output blurs figures for general manufacturing
The 2.9% increase in the food, beverages & tobacco segment proved not enough.
However, the printing segment is not the only one to blame, with the miscellaneous industries segment posting an 11.6% drop in output.
The Economic Development Board said:
| The general manufacturing cluster's output declined by 6.3% year-on-year in September 2011 as output gain in the food, beverages & tobacco segment (2.9%) was offset by declines in the printing (-2.9%) and miscellaneous industries (-11.6%) segments. The printing industry segment recorded lower output for books and periodicals. The miscellaneous industries segment recorded lower production in secondary batteries, wooden furniture and steel products. On a year-to-date basis, output of the cluster was 2.6% lower, compared to the same period last year. |
