Link Securities | According to the final reading of the data released by the German Federal Statistical Office, Destatis, Germany\u2019s gross domestic product (GDP) contracted by 0.3% in 2Q25 compared to the previous quarter, more than the 0.1% contraction initially estimated, which was in line with the consensus of FactSet analysts. In 1Q25, Germany\u2019s GDP had grown by 0.3% in quarterly terms. The decline in 2Q25 is the sharpest quarterly drop since 2Q24.<\/p>\n

In 2Q25, fixed capital investment fell by 1.4% (up 0.3% in 1Q25), reflecting lower investment in both construction and equipment, mainly machinery, equipment and vehicles. Net trade also weighed on growth, as exports fell by 0.1% (up 2.5% in 1Q25), affected by the increase in US tariffs, while imports continued to rise (up 1.6% versus 1.6% in 1Q25). At the same time, private consumption growth slowed sharply (up 0.1% versus 0.6% in 1Q25), while public spending rebounded (up 0.8% versus a drop of 0.3% in 1Q25). Meanwhile, inventory variation contributed positively to GDP growth in the quarter.<\/p>\n

By sector of activity, it is worth noting that production contracted in manufacturing, construction, trade, transport, hospitality, and financial and insurance services.<\/p>\n

In year-on-year terms, Germany\u2019s GDP grew by 0.2% in 2Q25 (up 0.3% in 1Q25), also below the initial estimate of 0.4%, which was in line with consensus expectations. However, year-on-year GDP growth in the quarter was the second consecutive quarter of growth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Posted By: The Corner 26th August 2025 Link Securities | According to the final reading of the data…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":375597,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5310],"tags":[2000,299,1824],"class_list":{"0":"post-375596","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-germany","8":"tag-eu","9":"tag-europe","10":"tag-germany"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115096478474819488","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375596","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=375596"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375596\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/375597"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=375596"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=375596"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=375596"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
