The manufacturing sector contracted by 1.9 per cent on a year-on-year basis in the first quarter, a reversal from the 5.1 per cent growth in the previous quarter. "The performance of the sector was weighed down by output declines in the precision engineering and electronics clusters, which more than offset output expansions in the biomedical manufacturing and transport engineering clusters," said MTI.
