EXPORT GATEWAY ■
Gregor Wolf, CEO, Federation of German Export Trade
“The German export trade is currently strug- gling out of the crisis. In the light of the positive trend in foreign orders in the processing indus- try, for the fourth quarter we are optimistic that the worst lies behind us. Important stimuli for global trade are originating from the Chinese market, especially, while we continue to be wor- ried about Latin America. In the medium term, however, the de-coupling of the US and Chinese economies may affect international trade more seriously than the coronavirus pandemic. A hard Brexit could cause a special effect, should ware- houses in the United Kingdom fill up with du- ty-free merchandise.”
