However, profits in privately-owned industrial firms rose 6.6 percent year on year to 439.9 billion yuan. Profits in the power generation sector increased by 194 percent during the January-August period. Oil refineries and coking plants moved to a profit of 71.2 billion yuan from a loss of 94.2 billion yuan in the same period last year. Profits in other sectors, including oil and gas exploration, steel and non-ferrous metal smelting, dropped more than 50 percent. |
