India, Nov. 11 -- Italy's factory sector continues to struggle and is likely to give lacklustre performance even in the fourth quarter, thanks to the weakness in the consumer goods industry as high inflation damps consumption, ING economist Paolo Pizzoli said in a note on Wednesday.
Latest official data showed that the Italian industrial production rose 1.2 percent month-on-month after a 1.3 percent contraction in August. Growth was led by capital goods and intermediate goods, while production of consumer goods and energy shrunk.
