German economy will resume growth after crisis — Bloomberg poll

According to a Bloomberg analyst survey, Germany's economy is set to resume growth in 2025 following a two-year contraction. The agency's experts are more optimistic about the country's near-term prospects compared to other forecasting institutions.

The May survey shows respondents expect GDP growth of 0.2% this year in Europe's largest economy. For 2026 and 2027, following measures to boost infrastructure and defense spending, expansion is projected at 1.1% and 1.7% respectively.

Dennis Huchzermeier, senior economist at the Handelsblatt Research Institute, believes government measures will yield positive effects in the future.

Since the beginning of the year, Germany has shown positive economic growth momentum. These developments are partly attributed to increased business and exporter activity aimed at getting ahead of anticipated US tariff measures.
