In annual terms Spain's industrial production had increased by 3.9 percent in December to fall in January by 0.1 percent as data showed on Monday. Industrial production has alternately fallen for several months as a result of the financial crisis Spain started suffering in 2008. In the third quarter in 2013 the Spanish economy left its longest recession since 1978 behind thanks to a 0.1 percent growth. The Spanish government expects to consolidate this growth in 2014 and successfully deal with one of the country's biggest problems, its high unemployment rate and its 4.8 million people unemployed.
