German Factory Orders

Today, the German Factory orders, which is an indicator that includes shipments, inventories, and new and unfilled orders was released by the Deutsche Bundesbank.

In a report published by Bundesbank, German economy picking up at an increasing pace. The report stated that “the Bundesbank’s economists expect Germany’s real gross domestic product (GDP) to grow by 1.7% this year, followed by a rise of 1.8% in 2016 and 1.7% in 2017”.
