Slight delay in the release by the source. The preliminary report can be found here. A slight upwards revision but nothing that really stands out as it reaffirms a modest bounce back in the German economy in Q2 amid the easing of virus restrictions.
That said, as a reminder, the estimated growth was shallower than anticipated and with supply chain disruptions persisting, the outlook for Q3 may not be all too rosy despite the summer optimism - more so when considering how things may shape up for Q4.
