(ANSA) - BELGRADE, APR 30 - The gross domestic product in
Germany declined by 1.7% in the 1st quarter of 2021 compared to
the last quarter of 2020, the German statistical office Destatis
said today. After the biggest European economy had recovered
slightly in the second half of 2020 (by +8.7% in the 3rd quarter
and +0.5% in the 4th quarter), "the coronavirus crisis caused
another decline in economic performance at the beginning of
2021," Destatis added, stressing that household consumption was
negatively impacted in particular, while exports of goods
supported the economic system. (ANSA).
