By Paulo Trevisani Dow Jones Newswires

BRASIIA – Brazil's industrial output was stable in June comparing with the prior month, the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, or IBGE, said Tuesday.

When compared with a year earlier, June industrial output was down 1.9%.

June's zero growth comes after two consecutive months of expansion, in which industrial production grew 2.5% in total, IBGE said.

A weekly survey of economists by the central bank released Monday forecast gross domestic product, a broader measure of economic growth, will expand 0.34% in 2017.
