Berlin, May 3 (Reuters) - German Manufacturers Deepened a Decline in Their Order Books in March, but Economists Pointed to a High Comparative Base of the Previous Year's Period and Hinted at Potential Signs of Easing, the Vdma Association Reported on Friday.
柏林，5月3日（路透社）— Vdma協會週五報告稱，德國製造商的訂單量在3月份進一步下降，但經濟學家指出，去年同期的比較基礎很高，並暗示了潛在的寬鬆跡象。
Orders Fell by 17% in Real Terms Year-on-Year in March, but March Last Year Saw the Biggest Number of Orders of the Entire Year.
3月份的訂單按實際價值計算同比下降了17％，但去年3月的訂單量是全年最多的。
"It Therefore Comes as No Surprise That the Decline in Orders Was Greater in This Month Than in the First Two Months of This Year," Vdma's Economic Expert Olaf Wortmann Said.
Vdma的經濟專家奧拉夫·沃特曼說：“因此，本月的訂單下降幅度大於今年前兩個月也就不足爲奇了。”
Furthermore, Such a Sharp Decline Might Be a Sign of the Downward Trend Bottoming Out, Wortmann Added.
此外，沃特曼補充說，如此急劇的下跌可能表明下降趨勢已觸底。
"IF You Look at the Monthly Figures Along the Curve, They Confirm Our Assessment That Foreign Orders Have Bottomed Out," He Said.
他說：“如果你看一下曲線上的月度數據，它們證實了我們的評估，即外國訂單已經觸底。”
Foreign Orders Fell 15% Year-on-Year, While the German Ones Posted a 23% Slump in March.
外國訂單同比下降15％，而德國訂單在3月份下降了23％。
In the Less Volatile Three-Month Period From January to March, Orders Fell by 13%.
在1月至3月波動較小的三個月期間，訂單下降了13％。
However, It Is Still Too Early to See Some Substantial Signs of Relief, as Global Conflicts and Rising Protectionism Continue to Weigh Heavily on the World's Economy Thus Hindering Investments, Wortmann Said.
但是，沃特曼說，現在看到一些實質性的緩解跡象還爲時過早，因爲全球衝突和保護主義抬頭繼續嚴重壓制世界經濟，從而阻礙投資。
