KIEV, Aug. 9 – Ukraine’s industrial output, led by steel and machinery sectors, has been increasing robustly due to strong external demand and may further boost the country’s economic growth, an official said.
The industrial output, one of the key indicators gauging economic activity, rose by 11.4% on the year, the highest rate of growth over the past seven months, and was helped by strong demand for steel, Ukraine’s main exports.
