Germany’s industrial production expanded by 1.8% in October compared to the previous month, exceeding market expectations and reinforcing signs of an economic rebound in Europe’s largest economy. The increase follows a revised 1.1% rise in September, according to data released by Destatis, the federal statistical office. Economists had forecast a more modest gain of just 0.3%. n nThe stronger-than-expected growth in manufacturing, construction, and energy output suggests that the German economy may be regaining momentum heading into the final quarter of 2025. The industrial sector, long weighed down by high energy costs and weak global demand, appears to be responding to improving external conditions and stabilizing supply chains. n nThe latest figures indicate a potential turnaround after months of stagnation, boosting optimism that Germany could avoid a prolonged downturn. Analysts note that the uptick in production may support broader GDP growth in the coming months, especially if domestic demand and business investment follow suit. n— news from Bloomberg.com n
