TOKYO, Feb 21 (Reuters) - Matsushita Electric Industrial Co Ltd <6752.T> on Thursday posted a loss for its third quarter and warned its full-year loss would be much worse than previously forecast, hit by slumping sales and restructuring charges.

The maker of Panasonic products reiterated its vow of a recovery in the next business year, however, when job cuts and other reforms are expected to bring substantial cost reductions.

Matsushita posted a consolidated net loss of 172.0 billion yen ($1.29 billion) for the October-December quarter, compared with a 22.8 billion yen profit in the year-ago period.
