Why it matters

GDP reporting is a macro signal for demand, fiscal space, industrial pressure and central-bank reaction functions. It also helps interpret trade shocks and strategic-sector data in context.

What to watch

• Growth momentum versus consensus and prior quarter.
• Demand mix: consumption, investment, inventories, government spending, exports and imports.
• Signals for ECB, Fed or Chinese policy response and spillovers into European industry.

Briefing

Consensus expects German GDP to stagnate at 0.0% q/q in Q2 2026, a sharp deceleration from Q1's confirmed +0.3% q/q and a signal of momentum loss after a modest recovery.
