The year-on-year increase came from the hand of the automotive sector, which posted an annual expansion of 42.7%, reaching the highest level of production since mid-2018.
Among the lagging sectors, the food sector stands out, which had contractions both in the slaughter section and in the milling of cereals.
“In a broader view, the local industry still has room to expand if the macro imbalances begin to be corrected, and a stable framework that coordinates expectations is recovered,” the report said.
Even if this does not happen in the short term, “there is room for a certain degree of rebound, so for next year we anticipate a slight advance, conditional on not worsening the social and economic context,” he added.
