BERLIN (Reuters) – German industrial orders grew more than expected in December, helped by stronger domestic demand, data showed on Friday.
Orders for goods grew 2.8% on the month in seasonally adjusted terms after a revised increase of 3.6% in November, figures from the Federal Statistics Office showed.
A Reuters poll of analysts had pointed to a smaller increase of 0.5% on the month.
