Press release No. 096 of 2 March 2021
WIESBADEN – According to first provisional data on German exports to the United Kingdom, the January 2021 figures are expected to show a significant decline compared with the same month a year earlier. The Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) also reports that German exports decreased by roughly 30% compared with January 2020, according to provisional calculations. Based on an extrapolation, exports to the United Kingdom continued to decline in January 2021 due to Brexit effects, after the year 2020 was characterised by the coronavirus pandemic.
