KUALA LUMPUR (Nikkei Markets) -- Malaysia's industrial production rose at a steady pace in September as higher manufacturing activity and electricity generation helped offset a decline in mining output, official data Monday showed.
The industrial production index -- a measure of output from factories, mines, and power plants -- gained 1.7% in September from a year earlier, matching the revised annual expansion pace in August, the Department of Statistics said. On a seasonally adjusted basis, the index fell 0.3% on-month.
