AMMAN — The General Industrial Production Quantities indexrecorded a decline of 2.52 percent in the first third of 2023, reaching 88.52
points compared to 90.81 points in the corresponding period of 2022, according
to the Department of Statistics' (DoS) monthly report released on Monday.
The decrease in the index can be primarily attributed to a
3.24 percent reduction in quantities of transformative industries and a 0.98
percent decrease in electricity.
However, extractive industry quantities saw a growth of 3.67
percent during this period, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
