Germany is the biggest market of jeans in Europe constituting about 30% of the total imports of jeans. It consumes a large quantity of value jeans and a decent quantity of premium jeans as well.
The German economy is powered by exports. Its current-account balance (the difference between the money it receives from the outside world and what it spends abroad) is one of the world’s largest, at 7% of GDP. It is an open economy: its ratio of exports to GDP is double China’s. About 6% of German exports go to China, especially what are "capital" goods such as heavy machinery. Germany has also been hit by slow growth in the 17 other euro-zone countries, where it sends 40% of its exports. Also issues with Russia are affecting its capital goods export to that country . Though the unemployment level is still low at about 5% , the country needs to worry about its other aspects as its costs of manufacturing are increasing. The Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011 resulted in focus being shifted away from the nuclear energy – due to which its energy prices are increasing – and causing shifting of some manufacturing away from Germany.
