Italian industrial production rose for the second month in a row in
November and also climbed on the year, paving the way for stronger
economic recovery, official figures showed on Thursday.
Industrial
output climbed 0.7 percent from October,and jumped 3.2 percent from
November 2015, national statistics office Istat said.
The better
than-expected data compares with a 0.2 percent monthly gain forecasted
by the median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of 20 analysts. Production
made a 0.1 percent gain in October.
November's monthly growth was
driven by a 2.4 percent surge in energy and a 1.1 percent rise in
intermediate goods, while consumer goods production declined 0.9
percent, according to Istat.
The Italian data gelled with an
unexpected spurt in industrial output across the 19-member eurozone in
December: 1.5 percent on the month and 3.2 percent year-on-year,
official figures showed.
Euro zone consumer confidence also
reached a 20-month high in December and has been rising for four
consecutive months, according to European Commission estimates.
