India's industrial production grew 3.1 per cent in September, according to official data released on Friday. The Index of Industrial Production (IIP) had grown 4.4 per cent in September 2021. As per the IIP data released by the National Statistical Office (NSO), the manufacturing sector's output grew by 1.8 per cent in September 2022. The mining output rose 4.6 per cent and power generation increased 11.6 per cent during the month.

China's consumer spending, factory output improve but still remain weak

Chinese consumer spending and factory output edged up in August but still were weak, official data showed Friday, and forecasters warned the second-largest economy is vulnerable to repeated shutdowns of cities to fight virus outbreaks. Housing sales plummeted while prices edged lower, adding to a slide in real estate activity under pressure from a government campaign to control surging corporate debt that set off an economic slump in mid-2021. China's economy held up slightly better than anticipated last month, but momentum still weakened, said Julian Evans-Pritchard of Capital Economics in a report. September is shaping up to be even worse. Chinese leaders are trying to prop up economic growth that sank to 2.5% over a year earlier in the first six months of 2022, less than half the official 5.5% target, without big stimulus spending that might push up debt and housing costs. Economists say this year's Chinese economic growth might come in below 3%, less than half of last year's 8.
