KUALA LUMPUR: The sales value of the manufacturing sector slipped by 2.6 per cent year-on-year (y-o-y) to RM155 billion in November 2023, the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DoSM) reported today.

Chief statistician Malaysia Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Uzir Mahidin said the decrease was primarily due to the substantial drop in the petroleum, chemical, rubber and plastic products sub-sector by 10.8 per cent (October 2023: -9.5 per cent); and the electrical and electronics products sub-sector which fell by 5.3 per cent (October 2023: -2.7 per cent).
