India, July 13 -- Norway's industrial production logged a contraction in May after recovering in the prior month, data from Statistics Norway showed on Monday.

Industrial production dropped a seasonally adjusted 1.0 percent month-over-month in May, reversing a 0.6 percent increase in April.

The downward trend was largely due to a 2.6 percent contraction in the extraction and related services segment, followed by a 0.5 percent fall in mining and quarrying output. On the other hand, manufacturing production rebounded 0.7 percent.
