The German Federal Ministry of Economy and Energy said that in the first quarter of this year, the German industry was generally running strong. However, due to factors such as rising uncertainty about US trade policy and the resulting pessimistic trend in corporate expectations, the growth of the German industrial sector is likely to slow down again during the year. Niels Janssen, a German economic analyst at the Kiel Institute for World Economics, said that currently Germany's industrial output is still low, still below pre-pandemic levels. Affected by the US tariff policy, Germany's early delivery of products to the US may be one of the reasons for the strong increase in industrial output in March. There is currently no sign of continued improvement. On the contrary, the US tariff policy is still very uncertain, and German industrial output is threatened with another setback. Niels Jansson said that America's erratic trade policy has increased uncertainty and may cause many companies to delay investment, which will be an additional burden for export-oriented German industry.
