  "account": "German electronics exports surged significantly in July, with a total value of €23.5 billion ($26.8 billion) shipped abroad, marking an 11.9% increase compared to the same period last year, according to the German Electro and Digital Industry Association (ZVEI). Andreas Gontermann, chief economist at ZVEI, noted that the robust growth observed in the first six months of the year surpassed expectations slightly. From January to July 2026, German electronics exports reached a total of €162.9 billion, reflecting a 9.7% rise compared to the same period in 2025. Eurozone trade emerges as the primary catalyst for this positive trend, accounting for nearly 90% of export growth. In July alone, German companies shipped €90.1 billion worth of electronics to EU countries, representing a 17% year-on-year increase. Beyond the EU, exports to the United States showed improvement, with German firms exporting €2.7 billion worth of electronics in July, marking a 23.3% increase despite new tariffs imposed by the former US administration. However, exports to China continued to decline, falling by 10.8% to €1.8 billion. Gontermann pointed out that while trade with the US is recovering due to the AI boom and the impact of tariffs, which are now largely accounted for in the statistics, business with China remains sluggish.",
