The German Federal Statistics agency Destatis on 14 November 2017 said increased exports and higher investments brought an increase of 0.8 per cent in gross domestic product, while economists had expected a lower figure of 0.6 per cent. The inflation rate, as measured by the consumer price index, was up 1.8 per cent in both September and August 2017 said Destatis. The prices of food rose 4.3 per cent, while prices for goods rose 1.9 per cent year-on-year in October. Economists expect growth in Germany, Europe's biggest economy, to continue its upward trend in future. EPA/CARSTEN KOALL
