European industrial production increased in January for a fourth month as companies in Germany, the region’s largest economy, boosted output to meet surging export orders.

Production in the euro area rose 0.3 percent from December, when it also increased 0.3 percent, the European Union’s statistics office in Luxembourg said today. That matched the median forecast of 23 economists in a Bloomberg News survey. Production rose 6.6 percent in the year.
