German factory orders see 3rd straight gain in October
Increase fueled by higher domestic and outside eurozone demand
06 December, 15:39The Economy Ministry said Wednesday that the increase was fueled by slightly higher domestic demand and a larger increase in orders from outside the 19-nation eurozone. Orders from other eurozone countries were down 1.2 percent.
The October gain followed increases of 4.1 percent in August and 1.2 percent in September, and came despite a below-average number of bulk orders. (ANSA).
