Clothing and Paper Output Rise as Industrial Activity Varies in August

Clothing and paper production increased in August, according to preliminary figures tracking output in Egypt’s manufacturing and extractive industries.

The industrial production index showed a mixed performance across industrial activities, with some recording growth and others seeing declines during the month.

Clothing and paper were among the activities on the rise. The available summary did not specify the size of their increases or provide figures for individual industries.

Other activities recorded lower output, but the summary did not identify the sectors affected or the scale of the declines.

The preliminary findings offer a snapshot of uneven industrial performance in August, without establishing whether production rose or fell overall.
