Mubasher: Morocco's manufacturing index declined by 1.5% year-on-year during the third quarter of 2015 on low oil prices, said the High Commission for Planning.
The commission attributed the decline to the 58.8% fall in oil refining and the 0.3% decrease in non-metal products. The cement and metal product industry fell 1.5% and 0.7%, respectively.
The manufacturing index rose by 0.6% during the second quarter of 2015.
