Euro zone industrial production rose in May, official estimates showed on Tuesday, but the recovery from lockdown-induced record declines March and April was lower than expected and far from offsetting past drops.

The limited rebound in May, when many plants reopened, suggest the recovery is limited. The fall in April was also bigger than initially estimated by Eurostat, which on Tuesday revised its month-on-month data to -18.2% from -17.1%. The rebound from April concerned all economic sectors surveyed by Eurostat. It was mainly driven by a 54.2% leap in the production of durable consumer goods, which nearly offset big falls in the previous two months.
