Kick back and get ready for some good news, folks! Germany's industry, construction, and energy sectors have taken a giant leap forward, producing a whopping 3.0% more in March compared to February, according to Germany's very own Statistical Office in Wiesbaden. And if that ain't enough to tickle your fancy, the first quarter of 2025 saw a 1.4% bump compared to the last quarter of 2024! That's the biggest three-month boost the economy's seen since the beginning of 2022!
Industry alone was the real MVP, with a 3.6% spike in March. Key sectors like automobiles (a whopping 8.1% increase), pharmaceuticals (rising by a whopping 19.6%), and machinery (4.4% boost) were the real powerhouses behind this resurgence. Even energy-intensive industries, like chemicals, enjoyed a 1.5% growth! And construction? You bet your boots! It bounced back with a solid 2.1% increase!
So, what's fueling this industrial renaissance? Economist Sebastian Dullien from the Institute for Macroeconomics and Business Cycle Research at the Hans-Boeckler Foundation reckons the cyclical downturn in German industry might finally be over.
