terms during 2000 and was therefore almost twice as strong as during the
previous year (+1.6%). The goods export and import situation was partic-
ularly gratifying and this is of course an important determining factor
for shipment from and to Germany: imports grew at a rate of 10.2% and
exports were up to 13.2%.
The reason for this was a real economic upturn in all of the major econom-
ic regions. In the United States economic expansion continued strong with
GDP growth of 5%,although the expansion weakened somewhat at the end
of the year.In Euroland, the upturn gained momentum and GDP rose in
2000 by 3.3%, following a rise of just 2.5% in the previous year.Most of the
national economies in Latin America recovered from crises, and economic
revival continued in East Asia.Particularly favorable to our international
business was the fact that world trade at 12% once again grew at almost
double the pace of world production – a trend that has been sustained
since the early nineties.Even though the economy weakened off in a num-
ber of industrialized nations at the end of 2000,this growth trend in world
trade will continue to favor global logistics service providers such as
Deutsche Post World Net.
