Rose 32.6%, sanctioned a loneliness?

After multiple rounds of sanctions, Germany's imports from Russia will rise without rising?

According to today's Russian TV (RT) website reported on the 20th, the Russian Business Office in the Berlin Business Office revealed that in the first seven months of this year, Germany's imports from Russia rose 32.6%to $ 27.9 billion.

Russia's trade representative of Germany Andrey Sobolev said that as of July, the total fuel and energy products imported from Russia in Germany increased by 40.5%, and the gold purchased from Russia increased more than 10 times, and Silver imports have increased almost 5 times. In addition, Germany also added other metals such as copper, aluminum and nickel from Russia.

The report also shows that Germany's exports to Russia have decreased by 43.6%compared with the same period last year to $ 10.2 billion. The decline in exports has expanded its trade deficit to Russia in the first seven months of Germany to $ 17.7 billion.

Suberf explained that although Germany's exports to Russia generally decline, "the supply of German pharmaceutical products, seeds and fruits has increased."

Reuters also recently reported that data from the German Federal Bureau of Statistics in July showed that Germany imported $ 2.9 billion in products from Russia that month, an increase of 10.2%year -on -year.

It is worth noting that due to the rise in energy prices, imports have increased, but the amount of supplies in Germany actually get less. Taking July as an example, statistics show that although Germany's imports from Russia increased by 10.2%, the amount of material volume was reduced by 45.8%. Germany spent more money, but the things they bought became less.
