This marked the lowest reading in three months, as production slowed in manufacturing (1.9% vs. 7.1% in March), weighed down by declines in the manufacture of food (-1.8% vs. 11.2%) and beverages (-3.8% vs. 12.9%), as well as decreases in the manufacture of wood, cork, straw, and wicker products (0.5% vs. 5.8%) and paper and paper products (5.6% vs. 9.3%).

Additionally, activity in mining and quarrying remained unchanged, at 20.7%.

Meanwhile, output increased in water supply, sewerage, waste management and remediation services (13.3% vs. 9.7%) and electricity, gas, steam, and air-conditioning supply (11.6% vs. 7.1%).

On a monthly basis, industrial production dropped 7.4% in April, following a downwardly revised 15.2% rise in the previous month.
