German industrial output recorded its biggest monthly increase since March last year, continuing the economic recovery trend supported by public spending on infrastructure and defense. Germany's industrial output increased 2% month-on-month in August, which not only completely offset last month's decline, but also far exceeded economists' general expectations of 0.5%. The increase in output was mainly driven by the construction industry. However, output increased markedly even after excluding the construction and energy industries. According to the German Statistical Office, capital goods output performance was particularly strong, while automobile manufacturing output declined somewhat. The data instilled confidence in Europe's largest economy, which is trying to revive growth. The government is investing billions of euros in infrastructure and defense construction to boost economic momentum. These measures have not only boosted the growth of factory orders in recent months, but also caused fluctuations in some orders.
