A more industrious Senegal of late

Senegal produced more finished goods last month over a year ago, according to a recent government report. Construction material production grew, but also textiles and leather.

The National Agency of Statistics and Demography (ANSD) index of industrial production was 105.3 after 101.5 in December 2008, an increase of 3.8 percent, largely upon a surge of industrial production of textiles and leather.

The agency said that production of textiles and leather grew considerably in January2009, a result attributable to an upturn in cotton ginning, in conjunction with the production cycle of the sub-sector.
