S. Korea's industrial output grows 6.1 pct in September

SEOUL, Oct. 31 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's industrial output grew at a faster pace in September on solid gains in exports of video-audio products and transportation equipment, a government report showed Friday.

The National Statistical Office (NSO) report said industrial production expanded
6.1 percent on-year in September, compared with a dismal 1.9 percent advance in
August.
The September figure is higher than the median estimate of 5.75 percent
forecasted in a poll conducted by Yonhap Infomax, the financial news arm of
Yonhap News Agency.
