Germany’s economy is growing again after several difficult years, but the recovery remains fragile, according to DW Germany. The report says high government spending is helping to keep economic activity afloat. That support has contributed to renewed growth, although it has not removed the structural pressures facing the economy.
Energy prices remain a burden for businesses and consumers. The country is also dealing with a shortage of skilled workers, which is weighing on its economic prospects. Debt is another constraint identified in the report.
Together, the pressures leave Germany’s recovery on uncertain ground, despite the return to growth. The supplied material does not give a growth rate, identify the period covered or provide forecasts from individual economists. It also does not specify the government measures behind the spending or explain how long the recovery is expected to last.
