ROME, Oct 10 (Reuters) – Italian industrial output slumped in August by 2.4% from the month before, data showed on Friday, in a renewed sign of weakness for the country's long-struggling manufacturing sector. A Reuters survey of 13 analysts had pointed to a 0.4% decrease. National statistics agency ISTAT confirmed July's data at a 0.4% month-on-month rise. On a work day-adjusted year-on-year basis, industrial output plunged 2.7% in August versus a forecast for a 0.5% increase, following a 0.9% rise in July. Both the month-on-month and year-on-year declines in August were the steepest since December last year. ISTAT gave the following details.
