Schwäche der deutschen Automobilhersteller bremst wirtschaftliche Entwicklung der Handelspartner
Der starke Rückgang der deutschen Automobilproduktion im dritten Quartal 2018 hat zu teilweise kräftigen Wertschöpfungsverlusten bei wichtigen Handelspartnern geführt.

Die Auswirkungen auf das Bruttoinlandsprodukt sind am größten für die Tschechische Republik, Ungarn und der Slowakei.
