The IIP posted a 9.1% increase in the first quarter of this year and a 9.4% rise in April.
The GSO said the relatively high growth rate was due to a high consumption rate of 12 to 14% in the past three months, compared with the same period last year. Among these, vehicles saw the highest growth of 42%, electronics 31%, metal production 24% and leather 15%.
The chemical production inventory was lower than the average level of 9.2%, cloth by 3.8%, and rubber and plastic production 1.4%. The inventory of electric equipment and tobacco decreased by 2% and 24% respectively.
However, other sectors reported low IIP such as raw steel, which rose only 1.5%, while natural gas fell 0.6% and motorbikes fell 14.2%.
