The KSH noted that the significant difference between raw and working day-adjusted data is due to the fact that there were three fewer working days this April than a year earlier.

The volume of industrial production in April was below the level of the previous month by 0.8%, according to seasonally and working day-adjusted indices.

In the January-April period, production was up by 4.9%, compared to the corresponding four months a year earlier.
