Preliminary Q2 2026 GDP for Germany grew 0.2% quarter-on-quarter. Although slightly slowing from the previous 0.3%, it still outperformed the market consensus of 0.1%. Export expansion became the main driver supporting economic growth, successfully offsetting weak private consumption and declining capital investment. Looking ahead, geopolitical risks in the Middle East and high energy costs remain key variables affecting Germany's economic recovery.
