German economy: Only mini-growth – institutes lower economic forecast for Germany. Leading research institutes have significantly lowered their expectations for the German economy.
They only expect growth of 0.1 percent this year. According to the researchers, it looks like there will be an upswing in the coming year - even if they scale back their forecast from 1.5 to 1.4 percent. Economic output will be over 30 billion euros lower in 2025 as a result of the delayed recovery. The institutes recommend a careful reform of the debt brake.
