Economic Update Dutch version
The German economy had a good start of 2016, with growth exceeding expectations in the first quarter. We expect growth this year to accelerate compared to 2015 to 1¾% and slow down to 1½% in 2017.
Economic Update Dutch version
The moderate economic recovery continues on the back of domestic demand. We expect the economy to grow with ¾% in both 2016 and 2017, after 0.6% in 2015. The weak banking sector and political instability are the most important downward risks.
