Exports and imports fell last year. Exports of goods fell by 1.4 percent to 1,562.1 billion euros in 2023.

In 2022, exports “Made in Germany’ reached a record level, also as a result of price increases. The price effects cannot be quantified precisely because statisticians do not collect price-adjusted data on foreign trade. In December, Germany delivered goods worth 125.3 billion euros abroad. That was 4.6 percent less than in December 2022.
