Berlin: The German economy's situation has remained stable despite the tense situation, as the country came under external pressures due to weak demand, declining competitiveness, and isolated bottlenecks in intermediate products, according to the Economic Affairs and Energy Ministry on Monday.
According to Anadolu Agency, the ministry stated that the country's economy has recently seen a gradual stabilization led by fiscal stimulus measures, and although the global economy remains relatively resilient, leading indicators for German foreign trade show almost no positive signals.
The report indicated that while Germany's export sector showed some recovery, it was not indicative of a comprehensive recovery across the entire economy. Furthermore, it highlighted that the negative effects of US tariffs might still significantly impact the economy at the beginning of 2026, affecting the sales expectations of German exporters in the coming months.
The ministry also noted that corporate bankruptcies in Germany remained at a high level, with filings surging 11.7% year-on-year to approximately 18,125 from January to September.
