FX.co ★ German Exports Rise More than Expected

In September 2025, Germany experienced a notable growth in its export sector, with a month-on-month increase of 1.4%, reaching a five-month peak of EUR 131.1 billion. This follows a revised 0.8% decrease observed in August and exceeded market expectations, which forecasted a modest 0.5% rise. This marks the first uptick in exports over the past three months, largely fueled by heightened demand from European Union nations, which saw an increase of 2.5%. Exports to countries in the Eurozone rose by 1.4%, while shipments to non-Eurozone nations climbed by 5.1%. Meanwhile, exports to countries outside the EU remained steady overall; however, exports to the United States exhibited a significant 11.9% surge — the first such increase in half a year. Growth in exports was also recorded in the United Kingdom (7.1%) and Russia (0.8%), contrasting with a decrease in exports to China by 2.2%. In total, for the first nine months of the year, Germany's outbound shipments increased by 0.7% compared to the same period the previous year, amounting to a substantial EUR 1.2 trillion.
