May 10, 2011
Germany drove its trade surplus up to 15.2 billion euros ($A20.43 billion) in March, official data showed on Monday, as sustained global activity fuelled record exports by Europe's economic powerhouse.
In February, the calendar and seasonally adjusted trade surplus had come to 11.2 billion euros ($A15.05 billion), figures published by the national statistics office showed.
Germany exported goods worth a nominal 98.3 billion euros ($A132.13 billion) in March while taking in imports worth 79.4 billion euros ($A106.73 billion), the Destatis data showed.
"That was the highest monthly figure recorded for both exports and imports since the collection of foreign trade statistics had started in the Federal Republic of Germany in 1950," a statement said.
