Industrial output in Ukraine is up, but down

There is a typical good news, bad news story:

Industrial output in October, 2009 is 5% up relative to September, 2009 but...

...It is 6.2% down relative to October, 2009

The most troublesome figure is that  the industrial output in January-October, 2009 is 26.4% down relative to the same period of 2008.

Manufacturing industries were hit the most -- 31.2% decline relative to January-October, 2008. Among manufacturing industries, car industry is the clear loser with drop by 63.2%.
