Germany's Industrial Orderbook Declines

THE German government yesterday said industrial orders from Germany dropped by 4.3 percent in September compared with the previous month, largely on the back of a double-digit drop from other eurozone countries.

The decline was much steeper than economists expected and followed a 1.4 percent decline in August.

The Economy Ministry said the number of large orders was low in September and public holidays may also have had a dampening effect. It said orders from outside Germany were dragged lower by a 12.1 percent decline in orders from elsewhere in the 17-nation eurozone.

Overall foreign orders were 5.4 percent lower. Those from inside Germany were down 3 percent.

The German economy - Europe's biggest - is losing steam amid a cooling global outlook and mounting debt troubles in the eurozone.
