Industrial output in the Eurozone’s economic powerhouse rose 2.9% MoM, the federal statistics authority Destatis said in figures adjusted for seasonal and calendar effects, compared to the expected increase of 0.8% and a -2.4% drop reported in July.
German Industrial Production declined by 2.7% in the year through August versus July’s -5.3%.
