The German economy stepped up its pace of surge to 0.6% during the first quarter of this year, underpinned by sound exports, soaring investments in machinery as well as buildings, not to mention decent spending by the state and households, as data disclosed on Tuesday.
Confirming a preliminary result for surge, the Federal Statistics Office announced that exports added 1.3% on the quarter and imports soared 0.4%, meaning net trade gained 0.4%.
