→ Breaking News. 2018-11-14. German GDP growth down 0.2% in Q3

The growth of Germany’s price, seasonally and calendar-adjusted gross domestic product (GDP) declined to 0.2% in the third quarter of 2018 compared to the previous quarter, the German Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) reported on Wednesday. The figure marks the first quarterly decrease since the first three months of 2015.

On an annual basis, both the price and calendar-adjusted GDP and the price-adjusted GDP rose by 1.1%. In the first half of 2018, German GDP had increased by 0.5% in the second quarter and by 0.4% in the first three months.

The decline was mostly attributed to foreign trade development as exports were down while imports increased in the third quarter of the year. Meanwhile, domestic demand in Germany showed mixed signals.

→ RTE. 2018-11-14. Germany’s Q3 GDP drops by 0.2%

The German economy contracted for the first time since 2015 in the third quarter as global trade disputes swung the traditional export growth engine of Europe’s largest economy into reverse.

Today’s figures have raised concerns that a near-decade-long expansion is faltering. 

Gross domestic product (GDP) in Europe’s biggest economy contracted by 0.2% quarter-on-quarter, the Federal Statistics Office said today. 

That compared with a Reuters forecast for a contraction of 0.1%. 

Compared with the same quarter of the previous year, the economy grew by 1.1% from July to September, calendar-adjusted data showed. Analysts polled by Reuters had expected 1.3%.
