Germany GDP Growth Rate (QoQ) : Definition
Germany's quarter-over-quarter GDP growth rate measures the percentage change in the nation's total economic output from one three-month period to the next. It is calculated by comparing the current quarter's Gross Domestic Product value, typically expressed in Euros, to the value from the preceding quarter. This rate reflects shifts in domestic demand and net foreign trade.
