The sectors of power generation and distribution, and water supply and waste treatment saw increases of 8.5 and 5.8 percent, contributing 0.6 and 0.1 percentage points to the general growth, respectively. Meanwhile, the mining sector decreased by 3 percent, making the general IPI growth fall by 0.7 percentage points. The inventory index as of Feb. 1 rose 12.7 percent year-on-year, lower than 21.5 percent a year earlier.
