l The plunge in recession-wracked Spain's industrial production eased in March to a 0.6 percent year-on-year decline, official data showed yesterday.
The seasonally-corrected figure from the National Statistic Institute followed a 6.9 percent fall recorded for February in the eurozone's fourth biggest economy.

It was the softest decline since August 2011, just before the latest recession started.
Like February's figure, the March fall was driven by weakening production of durable consumer goods, the institute said. Production in the capital goods and energy sectors strengthened by 3.3 percent however.
