MEXICO CITY--Mexican industrial production rose in November from the previous month, extending its recovery to six consecutive months following sharp declines in April and May caused by factory closures to slow the spread of the coronavirus.

Industrial production rose a seasonally adjusted 1.1% from October, with gains in mining and construction partly offset by lower utilities output, while manufacturing production was unchanged, the National Statistics Institute said Monday.

Compared with November of 2019, industrial production fell 3.7%, with manufacturing output down 2.1%, and construction down 7.8%. Mining production fell 2.4% from the year earlier month, including a 3.2% drop in oil and gas output, the statistics institute said.

In the January-November period, industrial production was down 10.7% from the first 11 months of 2019.
