Key economic data

For comparison: Bayern performed impressively791.6 billion eurossignificantly better, but also has a population of about13.25 millionresidents.

A look at the future
While the economic recovery in the manufacturing sector is encouraging, it remains to be seen how the overall economy will perform in the remainder of the year.
