Well, it's the biggest capital exporter in the world (huge surplus) and is the third largest exporter in total. It's also got the highest GDP in the EU by a fair margin.

Per-capita in the EU is skewed by a fair number of very small but very very rich countries. Luxembourg, the leader, being a tax haven and a population of half a million (!!) does not make it the healthiest and best economy.

Total GDP is irrelevant to everything. People use it like it means something, and it's just annoying.

Ok, that's quite convenient. What metric would you use? Because Germany has a higher GDP per capita than the UK or France. It would be a hard point to argue that any other country in the EU has a stronger economy than those three.
