Its share of global exports fell from 9.1% in 2007 to 8% in 2013 – as low as in the “sick man” era, when Germany was struggling with reunification.

但随着南欧地区经济萎靡不振，以及中国出现经济减速以及脱离以投资为主导的转型。德国的出口机器也因此放缓。德国占全球出口的份额从2007年的9.1%下降到2013年的8%——这个数字跟两德刚刚统一的“病人时期”相同。因为很多所谓“德国生产”的汽车及其他出口产品也包含了许多生产自中东欧地区的零件，所以在增值方面，德国占全球出口的比例已经到了历史的最低点。。
