BERLIN: German exports in November rose to their highest level in over two years while a strong gain in imports indicated domestic demand is increasingly fueling the country's recovery, official data showed Friday. According to preliminary data, German exports rose by 0.5 percent during November to €88 billion ($115.2 billion), the highest level since October 2008. The figure represents a jump of 21.7 percent on the year, Germany's Federal Statistics Office said. November imports rose by a strong 4.1 percent to €75.1 billion on the month - a staggering 33.1 percent over the same period a year earlier and the highest total level since the first records in 1950, the agency said. The bulk of Germany's November exports, some 55 percent, or €52.3 billion, went to its 26 fellow European Union members. Almost two thirds of its imports, or €47.2 billion, originated from there, the agency said.
