The output of steel went down by 3.4% to 29 million tons, while coal production increased by 0.7% to 144 million tons in January-May 2013 against the same period last year. Rosstat reports.
The decline in steel production has been continued since early 2013 and it is due to the worsening of the economic situation, experts say.
