(ANSA) - BELGRADE, MAY 25 - The gross domestic product in Germany fell by 1.8% in the first quarter of 2021 on the fourth quarter of 2020, the German statistical office Destatis said today. "After the German economy had somewhat recovered in the second half of 2020 (+8.7% in the third quarter and +0.5% in the fourth quarter), the coronavirus crisis caused another decline in economic performance at the beginning of 2021," Destatis noted. According to official data, the decrease was slightly larger than reported in the first release of 30 April 2021.
