According to the Federal Statistical Office’s flash estimate, seasonally adjusted real gross domestic product (GDP) recorded a quarter-on-quarter decline of 0.1 % in the second quarter, after still rising markedly in the previous two quarters. The Monthly Report states that after US tariffs were raised in April, industrial output and exports recorded a fall-off. While private consumption benefited from a sharp rise in wages, the labour market remained too weak to generate stronger momentum. The inflation rate fell distinctly in the second quarter.

Germany’s current account posted a surplus of €18.6 billion in June 2025, up €11.1 billion on the previous month’s level. This was mainly attributable to the swing to a surplus in invisible current transactions, which comprise services as well as primary and secondary income. Moreover, the surplus in the goods account increased somewhat.

The financial accounts summarise financial flows in the economy and thereby contribute to the picture provided by the national accounts, which focus on the real economy. Among other things, they show whether, on balance, financial resources were taken up or made available and in what form (eg loans or shares).

The outstanding amounts of assets and liabilities resulting from the Bundesbank's financial accounts can be presented in the form of financial balance sheets for the institutional sectors.

The labour market is where enterprises' demand for the production factor labour meets household's supply of working time.

Between 2021 and 2023, the average amount of wealth per household in Germany grew slightly in nominal terms, but declined in real terms, i.e. when adjusted for inflation. This is the finding of a Bundesbank study that regularly examines household wealth and finances. Nevertheless, net wealth remains at a higher level in both nominal and real terms than in 2017, when the Bundesbank carried out its last survey before the COVID-19 pandemic.

One of the Bundesbank's tasks is to collect monetary, financial and external sector statistical data, comprehensive sets of indicators and seasonally adjusted business statistics.
