BRUSSELS, Jan 14 (Reuters) - Euro zone industrial production rose twice as much as expected month-on-month in November thanks to strong output of intermediate and durable consumer goods, pointing to continued economic recovery in the fourth quarter.
Industrial output in the 16 countries using the euro jumped 1.0 percent against October, the European Union's statistics office said, also revising upwards October's data to a 0.3 percent decline from the previously reported 0.6 percent fall.
Economists polled by Reuters had on average expected a 0.5 percent monthly increase in November production and an 8.5 percent year-on-year fall. Eurostat said production fell only 7.1 percent annually. (Reporting by Jan Strupczewski, editing by Dale Hudson)
