According to a second estimate for the period released Friday by German statistics office Destatis, Germany’s gross domestic product grew by an adjusted 0.4% from the previous period.
The figure was raised from the first estimate, which showed the economy grew 0.3%. Economists polled by The Wall Street Journal had also forecast a 0.3% expansion.
