The figure is slightly higher than the 16.3% of the first quarter and well above the National Assembly's target of 5%, the GSO said

Total production was 5.2 million tonnes. Natural and liquefied gas production also fell.
The highest growth -16.8% -was in the foreign-invested sector which earned US$5.7 billion.
