Industrial sector of Estonia got affected by slate production

In 2016 the production sector of Estonia was significantly influenced by recession in the mining industry. Decrease in production volumes of this sphere was 16% for the year, and slate and peat production became the main hindered sectors. Mineral fuel production was also reduced because of decrease in volumes of slate production by 18%.

In the fourth quarter the mining industry achieved a remarkable success - the production volumes increased by 9% in comparison with the same period of the previous year. In 2017 experts predict the further growth in indices of the industrial sector due to increase in import demand.
