(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.
