German Trade Surplus Narrows in August but Beats Expectations
Germany’s trade surplus came in at €19.5 billion in August, above the €19.0 billion market consensus but down from €21.6 billion previously.
The smaller surplus indicates that the gap between exports and imports narrowed during the month, although the result was slightly better than economists had expected.
