Germany's manufacturing new orders rose strongly in December 2025, increasing 7.8 per cent MoM and 13 per cent YoY, according to Destatis.
Growth was driven by fabricated metals, machinery and capital goods, with domestic and non-euro area demand leading.
However, turnover remained weak, falling 1.4 per cent in December and down 1.3 per cent for 2025, highlighting ongoing industrial challenges.
