Government only expects economic growth of 0.2 percent this year. Germany will thus end up in the bottom group of industrialized countries again.

"If we do nothing, our country will fall behind," said the FPD leader. “Then Germany will become poorer. That’s why the country needs an economic turnaround," he said.
