The Statistical Institute of Jamaica (Statin) has revised the performance of the country’s manufacturing sector, saying it grew four per cent, as against earlier estimates that it declined by one per cent.
Statin says the performance was due to the sector benefiting from strong growth in sugar production and petroleum refining.
Sugar production in the second quarter was more than double its output last year, while petroleum refining was up 26 per cent.
