S. Korea`s industrial output shrinks 9 pct in May
SEOUL, June 30 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's industrial output shrank in May from a
year earlier as production in the automobile and machinery sectors declined due
to sluggish demand, a government report showed Tuesday.
According to the report by the National Statistical Office (NSO), production in
the mining and manufacturing sectors fell 9 percent last month from a year
earlier, compared with an 8.2 percent on-year decline in April.
The May figure is worse than a median estimate of an 8.6 percent decline in a
poll conducted by Yonhap Infomax, the financial news arm of Yonhap News Agency.
