German exports increased by 4.3 percent in May from the previous month, provisional figures released Friday by the national statistics office showed. The result was a partial correction of the country\'s export slump in April, when they plunged by 5.6 percent, the Destatis data showed, revising lower an initial estimate of minus 5.5 percent. Germany, the world\'s second biggest exporting nation after China, recorded a seasonally-adjusted trade surplus of 12.8 billion euros ($18.4 billion) in May, Destatis said.
