The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Germany grew 0.1 percent in second quarter compared to a year earlier, signalling a considerable slowdown of the economy, figures released by the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) showed on Tuesday.
First quarter growth rates have also been corrected from 1.5 percent to 1.3 percent.
Economic growth in Germany has been largely driven by exports and investments. However, dwindling household expenditures and the construction sector slowed down the German economy in the second quarter of this year.
