Bundesbank sees another year of stagnation in Germany despite increased government spending

Bundesbank sees another year of stagnation in Germany despite increased government spending

The Bundesbank released a pessimistic forecast for Germany’s GDP growth. The central bank expects the eurozone’s largest economy to stagnate for at least another year, despite the future increase in government spending. President of the Bundesbank Joachim Nagel highlights that trade conflicts initiated by the US are weighing on Germany’s industry as it is recovering after a long period of weakness. 

The government’s plans to ramp up infrastructure and defense spendings provide opportunities for future uptick. However, the impact will not be seen until the end of 2027. Germany will continue to struggle with stagnation in the near term, and the projected GDP growth of 0.7% next year remains disappointing for such a developed economy.

Bundesbank believes Germany’s tepid economic expansion will lower inflationary pressures. After reaching 2.2% this year, consumer price growth will fall below the European regulator's target in the coming years, reflecting weak domestic demand.
