What the numbers say
In 2025, Germany's gross Value Added (GVA) at basic prices (current US$) rose 7.7% on 2024 (from US$4.24 trillion to US$4.57 trillion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +2.9% and a typical year strayed about 8.4% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.6 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 43.2% in 1986 and the biggest yearly fall was 15.8% in 1981. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is upward, about US$137.48 billion a year. A straight line explains 92% of the movement over 10 observed years.

Gross value added at basic prices reflects the price of products receivable by the producer exclusive of taxes payable on products and inclusive of subsidies receivable on products, less intermediate consumption valued at purchasers' prices. This indicator is expressed in current prices, meaning no adjustment has been made to account for price changes over time. This indicator is expressed in United States dollars.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a gap-filled total.
