WRI’s assessment

Germany’s Logistics Growth Index edged up to 49.9 in July, advancing 0.5 points and rising above its three-month average of 49.2. The improvement was primarily driven by a robust Warehousing Index, which expanded sharply on strong large-scale deal activity and continued e-commerce outsourcing.
