Germany's trade surplus increase exceeds expectations

The Eurozone's largest economy trade surplus increased 1.7% from €13.3 billion in August to €20.4 billion in September, thus exceeding analysts expectations. The Federal Statistics Office for Germany reported fall in imports by 1.9% to €74.3 billion and surge in exports by 1.7% to €94.7 billion in September, while some say that Europe's number one economy needs export limits in order to help other EU countries cut deficits.
