GDP GrowthPrivate consumption (+0.3%) saw slightly below-average growth in the 2nd quarter, supported by expenditure for healthcare, housing and energy. Government consumption (+0.1%) increased only slightly. Investment in construction (–0.1%) provided no impetus, accordingly value added in construction (+0.1%) hardly rose at all. Finally, investment in equipment (–1.0%) recorded a quite substantial decline. Investment in machinery was reduced again in particular, as the uncertain environment is dampening companies’ investment activity. |

Production SideUnlike in other European countries, the industry sector contributed significantly to GDP growth in the 2nd quarter. In manufacturing (+1.3%), value added almost continued the dynamic growth of the previous quarter, with turnover and exports climbing in the chemical and pharmaceutical segment in particular. However, other industry sectors, specifically machinery and metals, reported declining turnover and were thus in line with the recent international development. Exports of goods2 (–0.8%) fell slightly overall. At the same time, imports2 of goods and services also dropped (–0.6%). |
