Germany's new government said on Wednesday it expects Europe's biggest economy to see minimal growth of 0.2% this year, with a forecast for 1.3% growth next year and 1.4% in 2027.
Berlin’s new forecast — a near stall — projects a limp outlook for the country and raises the stakes for Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s plan to pour €500 billion into infrastructure, promise faster investment approvals, and boost digitalisation.
