BERLIN nike zoom fly uk , Aug. 8 (Xinhua) -- Germany recorded its biggest monthly drop in exports in nearly two years in June, according to figures released on Tuesday.
After witnessing growth for five consecutive months, exports fell by 2.8 percent in June compared to May nike air force 270 uk , according to Germany's Federal Statistical Office. The slump exceeded economists' expectations of a slight decrease and constituted the biggest fall since August 2015.

Trade with other Eurozone countries grew by 2.7 percent nike air footscape uk , further underlining the bloc's strengthening economic recovery. Exports to countries outside the European Union such as the United States and China fell by 1.7 percent.
Adjusted for seasonal fluctuations, German exports exceeded imports by 21.2 billion euros (25.03 billion U.S. dollars) - the biggest trade surplus since August 2016.
Germany has been criticized internationally, including by U.S. President Donald Trump nike flyknit trainer uk , for its large and long-lasting current account surpluses. The Washington-based International Monetary Fund has warned that the German trade balance suggests insufficient domestic investment which could harm growth in the longer term.
Germany continues to boast high productivity by international standards, however, and the simultaneous fall in imports and exports in June may indicate a gradual reorientation of the economy towards domestic consumption.
