BERLIN: German exports to the US and China jumped on the year in April, data showed yesterday, suggesting that strong demand from abroad is helping Europe’s largest economy recover from last year’s coronavirus slump.
Exports to the US, Germany’s biggest sales market outside the European Union, soared by 60.4 per cent year-on-year in April to 10.1 billion euros ($12.31bn), preliminary trade figures from the statistics office showed.
Exports to China, Germany’s second largest exports destination outside the EU’s single market, rose by 16.3pc to 8.4bn euros, the office said.
Exports to Britain jumped by 58.6pc on the year to 5.1bn euros.
Overall, exports to non-EU countries rose by 35.6pc on the year to 50.8bn euros.
The statistics office said that the year-on-year figures for April were strongly impacted by the first coronavirus wave in 2020 which had pushed down exports compared to April 2019.
