BERLIN (Reuters) – The German economy grew significantly more in the first quarter than previously estimated due to good economic developments in March, according to a second estimate published on Friday.
The economy grew by 0.4% in the first quarter of 2025 compared with the previous quarter, the statistics office said, revising a preliminary reading of 0.2%.
Manufacturing output and exports registered stronger growth than initially assumed in March, said Ruth Brand, president of the statistics office.
