Industrial production across the 17 countries that share the euro increased at an unexpectedly strong pace in August and for the second straight month.The increase is partly a result of big output increases in Ireland and Portugal, two countries that received bailouts from the European Union and the International Monetary Fund.The European Union’s official statistics agency Eurostat said Wednesday industrial production rose by 1.2% from a month earlier and was up 5.3% from a year earlier.
