TOKYO: Japan's factory output for January rose a smaller-than-expected 1.0 per cent from the previous month, official data showed on Thursday.
The rise was weaker than a 1.5 per cent expansion expected by the market and a revised 2.4 per cent increase in December.
But the ministry maintained a positive view, saying in a monthly report: "Industrial production has bottomed out and shows some signs of picking up."
