Key Quotes:
"The data seems to confirm a slight acceleration in Q4 2015: according to our calculations, the preliminary estimate to be released on 12 February should show growth of 0.4% q/q, compared to 0.3% q/q in Q3. It seems unlikely, however, that this upturn will continue to build in 2016.
The slowdown in the emerging economies (led by China and Russia), which account for 40% of total German exports, has finally won the upper hand on the optimism reported in the monthly surveys, which were particularly upbeat through the end of last year."
