Malaysia's Sept factory output growth seen slowing to 3.3% y-o-y: poll

[KUALA LUMPUR] Malaysia's industrial production in September probably rose 3.3 per cent from a year earlier, a Reuters poll showed, slower than the previous month.

Factory output growth in August had expanded 4.9 per cent on the year, helped by growth in electricity, manufacturing and mining.

Malaysia's exports in September had fallen more than expected, hurt by weak oil prices and a slump in demand for manufactured goods.
