German Government Forecasts Significant Economic Slowdown in Second Quarter
Share:
The German government expects a notable cooling of its economy in the second quarter of the year. Officials have cut their earlier growth forecast in half to 0.5 percent, marking a significant revision made in mid-April. The downward revision reflects mounting concerns about Germany's economic performance, as Europe's largest economy faces headwinds that have prompted authorities to lower their growth expectations substantially from previous projections.
