GDP Bounces On Construction / Exports; Weaker End-2023 On Revisions
GERMAN DATA
German Q1 2024 real GDP is estimated by Destatis to have expanded by +0.21% Q/Q (seasonally-adjusted, vs -0.50% prior, downwardly revised by -0.2pp), a little stronger than consensus expectations.
- On a yearly comparison, quarterly GDP still printed in contractionary territory, however, at -0.2% Y/Y (SA, vs -0.2% cons and prior).
- And downward revisions to 2023 GDP suggest more back-loaded weakness last year than previously recognised.
- Destatis cited stronger construction investment as well as exports as upside drivers, while private consumption printed weaker.
- Final prints containing more detail are to be released in the next weeks.
