BRUSSELS, March 13 (Xinhua) -- The outlook for the eurozone industry has become increasingly uncertain as production fell in January and rising energy prices linked to the Middle East conflict threaten to derail the eurozone's fragile manufacturing recovery, according to an analysis by Dutch-based multinational financial institution ING on Friday.
Eurozone industrial production dropped 1.5 percent month-on-month in January, following a decline of 0.6 percent in December. The January reading marked the lowest level of industrial output since December 2024, indicating that recent optimism among manufacturers has not yet been reflected in actual production data, according to the analysis.
