German industrial production unexpectedly declined in March in a sign that Europe's largest economy remains vulnerable to global economic weakness.

Output, adjusted for seasonal swings and inflation, fell 0.5 per cent after stagnating in February, data from the Economy Ministry in Berlin showed on Friday. The typically volatile number compares with a median estimate of a 0.4 per cent gain in a Bloomberg survey. Production rose 0.1 per cent from a year earlier.
