Belarus: Contraction of industrial sector eases in June
Industrial production fell 0.9% year-on-year in June, following a 3.3% contraction in May. The manufacturing and electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply sectors shrank in the month, more than eroding gains made in the mining and quarrying, and water supply sectors. Meanwhile, annual average growth in industrial output fell to 1.9% from 2.4% in the previous month—marking the lowest print since March 2017.
