KUALA LUMPUR: The most-affected sectors that contributed to the fall in the Industrial Production Index (IPI) are those which were not allowed to operate in order to curb the COVID-19 transmission, according to Deputy International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Lim Ban Hong.

Speaking in Parliament today, he said the sectors concerned were transport equipment and other manufactures; non-metallic minerals, basic metal and fabricated metal products; wood products, furniture, paper products and printing; and textiles, apparel wear, leather products and footwear.
