German exports rise to record levels in June

German exports reached another record high in June 2026, reaching 139.3 billion euros despite challenges such as the Iran war. This marks the fifth consecutive month of growth, contributing to support for the weak German economy. While exports grew by 0.9% compared to May and 6.6% compared to the same month in 2025, imports increased more strongly, rising 4.4% to 123.9 billion euros. The trade deficit with China continued to widen, with Chinese imports growing by 9.1% while German exports to China fell slightly. Concerns over increasing Chinese competition in key industries like automotive and machinery persist.
