Den tyske regering nedjusterer vækstprognose til 0,5 procent

Den tyske regering har halveret sin økonomiske vækstprognose for i år til blot 0,5 procent. Økonomiminister Katherina Reiche (CDU) præsenterede tallene i Berlin. Uden statslige impulser ville økonomien stagnere.

I Berlin præsenterede økonomiminister Katherina Reiche (CDU) onsdag den tyske regerings nye økonomiske prognose sammen med cheføkonom Benjamin Weigert på et føderalt pressemøde. Prognosen forudser nu blot 0,5 procents vækst for det indeværende år, hvilket er en halvering af de tidligere forventninger. Weigert udtalte: "Hvis vi overhovedet ikke havde nogen impulser, ville vi ingen impulser have." Dette refererer til den finanspolitiske impuls fra øgede offentlige udgifter og en positiv kalendereffekt, som muliggør den beskedne vækst. Den private sektor udviser kun lidt fremdrift: forbrug og investeringer stiger minimalt, mens udenrigshandlen har en negativ indvirkning. Den finanspolitiske impuls opvejer handelsunderskuddet mere end rigeligt og afværger dermed stagnation.
