Eurozone economic recovery hopes have been thwarted by an unexpectedly sharp fall in industrial production that suggested continental Europe’s recession was only slowly losing its ferocity. Industrial production in the 16-country region tumbled by 1.9% in April 2009, further extending the precipitous falls since the second half of 2008, according to Eurostat, the European Union’s statistical office.
