Gross industrial output reached MNT 13.1 trillion in the first ten months of 2020, decreased by MNT 1.9 trillion (12.5%) from the same period of the previous year, Montsame reports.
This decrease was mainly due to MNT 1.8 trillion (16.3%) decrease in mining and quarrying gross output. However, the electricity, thermal energy, and water supply production output increased by MNT 67.8 billion (7.7%) compared to the same period of the previous year.
By preliminary results, the mining and quarrying gross output reached MNT 9.1 trillion in the first ten months of 2020, decreased by MNT 1.8 trillion (16.3%) from the same period of the previous year. This decrease was mainly due to the reductions in coal mining and lignite by MNT 2.0 trillion (44.5%), and extraction of crude petroleum by MNT 533.8 billion (62.8%) compared to the same period of the previous year.
