Japan's industrial output climbed a seasonally adjusted 0.5 per cent in October from the previous month, the Government said on Friday, citing preliminary figures.
The figures follow a 1.5-per-cent monthly rise in September, which was the first positive month-on-month result since July.
Consumer prices for the month were up 0.9 per cent from October 2012, the Government said.
The Japanese Government has deployed aggressive monetary easing measures this year to fight the persistent deflation.
