BERLIN (AP) Industrial production in Germany lost momentum in September across most sectors, according to official figures released Thursday.
But analysts said the drop should be short-lived as Europe's biggest economy continues to do well compared to its neighbors.
The Federal Statistical Office reported that production of big-ticket items dropped 0.9 percent in September after an upwardly-revised 1.6 percent increase in August.
The drop was led by a 2.1 percent decline in the production of capital goods and a 1.8 percent drop in the construction sector, the agency said.
Analysts said the drop should be a one-off as industrial orders are on the rise and industrial production remains up 1 percent on the year.
