Manufactures Report Higher Monthly Output 

A report by the Monetary and Banking Research Institute (MBRI) shows an increase in manufacturing output of companies listed in the stock market. 
It covered 280 companies in the Tehran Stock Exchange and Iran Fara Bourse, the junior equities exchange.
The companies accounted for almost half the industrial production in the country and their performance is seen as a benchmark for domestic production, the MBRI said on its website.    
Accordingly, the overall industrial production index (IPI) in the fifth calendar month to Sep 22 was up 6.5% on the corresponding month last year.
