Current Account in Germany
Germany - Current Account (billions of Euros)
The economy was hamstrung in Q2 by the external sector: Exports contracted strongly and domestic demand was unable to cushion the downturn. Private consumption growth slowed noticeably and fixed investment contracted. Data for the third quarter, meanwhile, continues to signal diverging trends. Industrial activity remained in a tough spot amid severe weakness in the manufacturing sector. In addition, consumer sentiment averaged lower in Q3 compared to the previous quarter. On the upside, the unemployment rate hit a record low in July, while the services sector expanded robustly in July and August. Against this backdrop, the government unveiled a somewhat looser budget as the fiscal surplus is expected to narrow and announced, on 20 September, a package of stimulus measures to fight climate change; the impact of the latter on the economy should be modest, however.Germany - Current Account (EUR bn) Data
