Imports and exports in Germany fell, a sign that the largest economy in Europe is still struggling to shake off the impact of a slowdown in China and other emerging markets.

Seasonally-adjusted exports fell by 1.2% while imports slid 3.4%, the second time in 3 months that imports plunged sharply, data from the Federal Statistics Office showed on Wednesday.

The trade surplus widened to 20.8 billion euros from 19.2 billion in the previous month.
