Overall industrial output was also supported by milder contractions in mining and quarrying (-10.56% vs -14.32%), electricity and gas supply (-1.77% vs -10.17%), and water supply (-0.12% vs -0.47%). On a monthly basis, industrial production eased notably to 1.62% in March 2026, from an upwardly revised 4.6% gain in the previous month. source: Ministry of Economic Affairs, R.O.C.
