I've found that 3 percent sequentially. VCI said chemical medical production fell 1. 2 percent and capacity utilization fell to 74. And 7 percent, still below the profitability limit. And Sales of chemical and medical items decreased by 1. But Based on my observations, 5 compared with the fourth quarter of 2023, however increased by 0. I've found that 3 from the previous quarter to 53. 1 billion euros. Prices fell 0. 2 percent year-on-year.
