Exports rose 2.0 percent on a monthly basis, reversing a 0.4 percent decrease in August. Moreover, this was the quickest rise since February. Exports were expected to grow 0.5 percent.

Imports climbed 4.2 percent, much faster than the 0.6 percent rebound a month ago. Economists had expected a 0.5 percent increase.

As a result, the trade surplus shrank to EUR 15.6 billion from EUR 17.9 billion in August. In the same period last year, the surplus was EUR 15.5 billion.

Exports to EU countries advanced 3.5 percent compared to August, and imports from these countries showed an increase of 4.9 percent.

Germany exported only 0.1 percent more to non-EU countries, while the country imported 3.6 percent more from those countries.
