Malaysia's Producer Price Index (PPI) for local production declined 2.1 percent year-on-year in December last year, official data showed Wednesday.
Malaysian Statistics Department said in a statement that the continuous double-digit increase in the index of agriculture, forestry and fishing (23.5%) and the positive change in manufacturing index (0.2%), reinforced the momentum of the overall index.
Index of water supply also increased 0.7 percent, it said.
However, the mining as well as electricity and gas supply indices still recorded decreases of 40 percent and 1.7 percent respectively.
