Germany raises 1.8% industrial production in January (MarketWatch) (09-03-2011)

LONDON -- German industrial production rose 1.8% in January, after a revised 0.6% decline in December, the German economics ministry reported Wednesday.

The rise was driven largely due to a sharp jump in construction, with output rising 36.3% after a weather-related fall in December, the ministry said.
