Slight delay in the release by the source. Preliminary figures can be found here. Final figures are in-line with initial estimates so there's nothing much to really gather from the release here. Some positive news is that capital investment was actually stronger in Q4 but that said, the slowdown in exports remains the bigger problem for the German economy.
