Important information on the press release:
This press release, which contains first results for exports to third countries, will be published for the last time for reference month December 2024. The early indicator will be discontinued as of reference month January 2025. The results for exports to third countries at this early stage have been found to differ increasingly from the provisional results of the regular monthly foreign trade statistics due to changes in the reporting patterns of the respondents. For this reason, the Federal Statistical Office has decided to discontinue the indicator.
