Meanwhile, the results of free zone manufacture are reflected in exports in dollars, which increased by 4.3% compared to the same period last year.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, the growth of local manufacturing was supported by the production of alcoholic beverages, the manufacture of non-metallic mineral products, and the production of other substances and chemical products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The construction industry showed an average year-on-year variation of 4.6% between January and April 2026, despite the decrease of 1.8% in April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
