Goods and services produced domestically that are sold or awaiting sale outside of Germany . The headline number is the percentage change in the Exports value.

The value of Exports is an important input in calculations of the Trade Balance, the Current Account and GDP. Exports are rarely considered in isolation. Rather, they are most often analyzed in comparison to Imports. Generally, excess exports indicate a country's goods are seen as desirable abroad, which signals that this country's currency is relatively weak (cheap) compared to that of its trading partners and may appreciate in the future due to robust demand.
