German Industrial Output Rises Less than Expected in May

BERLIN, July 7 (Reuters) - German industrial production rose less than expected in May as supply chains problems caused by the war in Ukraine and pandemic-related lockdowns in China make it difficult to process orders, official data showed on Thursday.

The Federal Statistics Office said industrial output rose by 0.2% on the month after an upwardly revised increase of 1.3% in April.

A Reuters poll had pointed to output as growing 0.4% in May.
