Industrial production grew 1 percent on year, confounding expectations for a drop of 0.2 percent. Production was down by revised 2.1 percent in November.

In the same period last year, industrial production advanced 0.4 percent.

An increase of 1.6 percent in manufacturing and a 5.1 percent rise in electricity offset the 4.8 percent decline in mining in December.

During April to December, industrial production logged an annual fall of 13.5 percent.
