Mubasher: Eurozone industrial output fell sharply in July, a sign that the currency area's economy is facing challenges.
Eurozone industrial production fell 1.1% month-on-month in July, while it expanded by 0.8% in the earlier month.
Compared with July 2015, output was down 0.5%, the largest year-to-year drop since November 2014.
Economists at the European Central Bank last week lowered their growth expectation for next year to 1.6% from 1.7% in June.
