(MENAFN) The German central bank estimated that economic growth in the country has slowed in the second quarter of the year, referring to calendar effects and geopolitical tensions, Xinhua reported.
Construction activity fell from a strong growth in the first quarter when it was helped by a mild winter, while industry production also dropped, Bundesbank report said.
"Taking the service sector, which continued to expand, into account, the seasonally adjusted real gross domestic product could have retained the status of the first quarter in the second quarter," the Bundesbank said.
