Germany's industrial output expanded for the first time in four months in July, figures from Destatis showed on Monday.
Industrial production rose 1.3 percent month-on-month in July, reversing June's revised decrease of 0.1 percent.
The recovery in July was mainly driven by a 9.5 percent growth in the manufacture of machinery and equipment. An 8.4 percent expansion in the pharmaceutical industry also had a positive impact, while energy production contributed negatively as it fell 4.5 percent.
