Emanuel Boeminghaus described the decline in orders in the German manufacturing sector as alarming and wrote that it was another significant dampener for the economy. Citing the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis), he stated that orders in August 2026 had fallen by 10.6 percent compared to July, adjusted for seasonality and calendar effects. Without large orders, the decline was 0.1 percent; in a three-month comparison, orders without large contracts had decreased by 2.6 percent. According to Boeminghaus, domestic orders had particularly fallen sharply by 17.3 percent. Foreign orders had decreased by 5.4 percent, orders for capital goods had dropped by 15.3 percent, and orders for consumer goods by 7.3 percent. He wrote that the figures indicated a fragile industrial economy and a significantly weaker demand in important areas. https://t.co/Q9NoWqqG4C #Industrie #Wirtschaft #Deutschland (translated)
