OECD expert Isabell Koske justified this with weakening exports to China. In addition, Chinese competition is created by German industry, for example in the automotive sector. In the new report, the trade war with the USA should now also play a role.
AS Institute for the World Economy (IFW) in Kiel had not adjusted his forecast for 2025 on Thursday, it continues to expect stagnation. However, the outlook brightened for the coming year.
