BERLIN, Aug 25 (Reuters) – The German economy grew ​by 0.3% ‌in the second quarter of 2026 compared with ‌the ​previous ⁠quarter, the ⁠statistics office said on Tuesday, slightly above last ​month’s preliminary reading for ⁠0.2%.

The ⁠data further firms ​up tentative signs ​of a recovery ‌in Germany’s languishing economy after a widely ⁠followed gauge of investor morale rose ⁠more ‌than expected ⁠last week ​and ‌quarterly company earnings ​and ⁠export orders perked up.
