factory visits and contacts with local
industrialists, some qualitative assessment of the present
state of manufacturing industry can be made. First,
manufacturers in general remained confident and optimistic
about export prospects in the coming months. Second, the
pace of improvement appears to vary from industry to
industry.
The performance of the largest sector, (3) textiles
and clothing, continued to improve. The boom in the electronics industry, particularly in computer
and related products and telecommunication equipment,
benefitted other related industries such as plastics,

products and electrical appliances reported continuing
difficulties in obtaining raw materials and component parts in the third quarter due to supply shortages as well
as the volatile exchange rate situation.
