BERLIN (Reuters) – The German economy grew by a record 8.2% in the third quarter as Europe’s largest economy partly recovered from its worst ever recession caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, data from the Federal Statistics Office showed on Friday.
The jump in output from July to September was the biggest since the statistics office began collecting quarterly growth data in 1970 and was stronger than the 7.3% increase predicted by economists in a Reuters poll.
