Germany’s current account surplus increased in February 2026, signaling a further strengthening of the country’s external position. According to the latest data updated on 10 April 2026, the non-seasonally adjusted current account balance rose to €22.0 billion, up from €18.1 billion recorded in January 2026.
The widening surplus suggests that Germany continued to earn more from abroad than it spent, with the February figure marking a notable month-on-month improvement in its external balance. While the detailed breakdown of the components was not provided, the headline increase in the current account balance points to resilient external demand for German goods and services or improved income flows from abroad during the period.
