By-sector analysis of industrial production indices shows that there are still no conditions for transition to sustainable growth in the majority of sectors. The trend component of the industrial production index points to a growth in manufacturing industry in the amount of 0.4% in March 2018 compared to December 2017. Extraction of mineral resources grew mainly due to gas and coal sectors.

Key words: industry, economic sectors, mining industry and manufacturing.
