Germany's nominal GDP in the second quarter of 2026 climbed to 1,151,030 million euros, an increase of about 1.24% from 1,136,920 million euros in the previous quarter, continuing the expansionary trend seen since the beginning of the year. The quarter-on-quarter real GDP growth rate was revised upward from an initial estimate of 0.2% to 0.3%, successfully beating market expectations, largely driven by a significant 2.0% growth in exports. Looking ahead, although geopolitics has pushed up energy costs, the rebound in business confidence and the government's expansionary fiscal spending will become key supports for stabilizing the medium-term economy.
