Bundesbank Predicts Modest Growth for German Economy in Q2

In its monthly economic report, the German central bank, Bundesbank, has indicated that the German economy is expected to experience modest growth in the second quarter.


While supply bottlenecks are easing and energy prices are falling, supporting the recovery of the industry, private consumption is likely to remain stagnant. However, the positive outlook for the global economy is expected to boost exports.

The report suggests that price growth will decrease gradually in the coming months. Despite these factors, the PMI data highlights a contrast between the struggling manufacturing sector and the relatively strong performance of the services sector, potentially resulting in a mixed performance for Germany in Q2.


German Economy - Key Points:

Easing Supply Bottlenecks and Falling Energy Prices

The German economy is benefitting from the easing of supply bottlenecks and a decrease in energy prices. These factors are supporting the recovery of the industry, which in turn is expected to aid exports.


Support from Global Economic Momentum

The regained momentum in the global economy is anticipated to have a positive impact on German exports. This provides an additional boost for the country's economic growth.

Stagnant Private Consumption: Despite other positive factors, private consumption is predicted to remain stagnant. This suggests that consumer spending may not contribute significantly to the overall economic growth in Q2.


Gradual Decline in Price Growth

The report suggests that price growth will decrease gradually in the coming months. This indicates a slow but steady decline in inflationary pressures.


Our Thoughts

The contrasting performance between the manufacturing and services sectors adds uncertainty to the economic outlook. The overall positive global economic momentum and the gradual decline in price growth contribute to a cautiously optimistic view of Germany's economic performance in Q2.
