German Industrial Output Rose More than Expected in May
- In May 2025, output in Germany's industrial sector increased by 1.2 percent compared to April, fueled by strong performances in the automotive, pharmaceutical, and energy industries.
- The increase followed a downward adjustment to a 1.6 percent decline in April and took place amid continued trade disputes and a temporary suspension of US tariffs.
- Output between March and May exceeded that of the preceding quarter by 1.4 percent, with energy production experiencing a notable increase of 10.8 percent in May.
- ING analyst Carsten Brzeski noted that the data suggests the recent industrial upturn is likely driven by factors beyond just customers accelerating orders to circumvent tariffs.
- The rebound signals potential momentum for German manufacturing, but future growth depends on trade developments and geopolitical uncertainties.
