FRANKFURT--German industrial production increased on the month
in January, as mild winter weather gave a healthy boost to the
construction industry, data from the country's economy ministry
showed Friday.
In adjusted terms, production increased by 0.6% on the month,
beating the 0.5% gain forecast in a survey of economists by The
Wall Street Journal last week. The ministry also revised up
significantly the December monthly gain to 1% versus 0.1%
originally reported.
