German Economy Surges Ahead: Revised Growth Estimates

Germany has revised its first quarter economic growth figures upwards, with the economy expanding by 0.4%, as opposed to the previously estimated 0.2%, the statistics office reported on Friday.

The significant revision is attributed to robust manufacturing and export performance in March, according to Ruth Brand, president of the office.

This updated estimate underscores the stronger-than-expected economic developments that fueled growth early in 2025.
