The disruption caused by the cyberattack had previously hampered output, but the recovery in November provided the primary boost for the national growth figures. Analysts noted that the resumption of operations at the carmaker and its supply chain was essential in driving the monthly performance, as the attack had previously affected both the manufacturer and those within its supplier network.
