Germany's industrial orders fell for the fourth month, driven by weak car industry and declining export demand, despite rising domestic orders.
FRANKFURT (Reuters) -German industrial orders fell for a fourth straight month in August, dragged lower mainly by a weak car industry and a decline in overseas demand, the federal statistics office said on Tuesday.
The office reported that incoming orders in the manufacturing sector were down 0.8% on the previous month on a seasonally and calendar-adjusted basis. Analysts polled by Reuters had expected a rise of 1.1% on average.
The statistics office said orders for exports fell by 4.1% in August, with orders from the eurozone falling by 2.9% and by 5% from outside the eurozone. Domestic orders rose by 4.7%.

Industrial orders refer to the requests made by businesses for goods and services from manufacturers. These orders are critical indicators of economic activity and can influence production levels.
Domestic orders are requests for goods and services that are made within a country's borders, reflecting local demand and economic conditions.
Export orders are requests for goods and services that are intended for sale outside the domestic market, indicating international demand for a country's products.
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the total monetary value of all goods and services produced within a country's borders in a specific time period, used as a broad measure of economic activity.
Economic benefit refers to the positive impact that an action, policy, or event has on the economy, often measured in terms of increased productivity, growth, or wealth.
