But trade data reviewed by Reuters showed that German exports to the United States actually jumped in the April-June period while foreign sales to Britain nosedived in the same three months.

German exports to Britain fell by nearly 15% year-on-year in the second quarter following a Brexit-date related jump of roughly 6% in the previous three months, according to trade figures from the Federal Statistics Office.

The German economy grew 0.4% quarter-on-quarter in the first three months of the year and shrank 0.1% in the second quarter on weaker exports.
