KUALA LUMPUR (Nikkei Markets) -- Malaysia's industrial production rose at a slower than expected pace in January, driven mostly by the manufacturing sector, official data released Friday showed.
The industrial production index -- a measure of output from mines, power plants and factories -- increased 0.6% in January when compared to the same month last year, the Department of Statistics said. The median estimate in a Nikkei Markets survey was for a 0.8% on-year gain.
