German Q2 GDP contracts mildly – more weakness ahead
German second quarter GDP declined by 0.1% qoq after +0.4% in Q1. Although a detailed breakdown of demand components will be published only later, the statistical office stated that domestic demand contributed positively to growth in Q2, while net trade was a drag . Owing to external developments (trade war, Brexit) we should expect the German economy to weaken further in the remainder of this year.
