China's industrial output rose 6 percent year on year in May, unchanged from April, official data showed Monday.

The pace of increase slowed from 6.8 percent registered in March and 6.1 percent posted in the same month of last year, according to data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).

Value-added industrial output, one of the leading indicators for economic growth, rose 0.45 percent in May from April.

In the first five months, industrial output grew 5.9 percent from one year earlier, up from 5.8 percent registered during the January-April period.

Value-added industrial output measures the output of Chinese companies with annual revenues above 20 million yuan (about 3 million U.S. dollars).
