German industrial output disappoints in April
German industrial production edged up in April but remained "subdued", official data showed Wednesday, adding to fears of a longer recession in Europe's largest economy.
Output rose by 0.3 per cent in April, seasonally adjusted figures from federal statistics agency Destatis showed.
But the uptick was smaller than the 0.6-per cent increase analysts surveyed by FactSet had forecast, and follows a decline of 2.1 per cent in March.
