German exports increased by 4.3 per cent 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 per cent, the Destatis data showed, revising lower an initial estimate of minus 5.5 per cent.

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.
