BERLIN, July 6 (Reuters) - German industrial orders rose more than expected in May due to large-scale orders.
Industrial orders rose by 1.9% on the previous month on a seasonally and calendar adjusted basis, the federal statistics office said on Monday.
A Reuters poll of analysts had pointed to a rise of 1.5%.
When large-scale orders are excluded, new orders were 1.0% higher than in the previous month.
The less volatile three-month on three-month comparison showed that new orders in the period from March to May were 0.2% lower than in the previous three months.
After revision of the provisional data, new orders in April decreased by 3.2% on March, less than the 3.8% decrease of the preliminary figure.
