ifo Institute Raises Growth Forecast for Germany
June 12, 2025--The ifo Institute has revised its economic forecast for Germany upward. The German economy is expected to grow by 0.3 percent in 2025 and 1.5 percent in 2026. Compared to the spring forecast, the growth rates have been raised by 0.1 and 0.7 percentage points respectively. "The crisis in the German economy reached its low point in the winter half-year," says Timo Wollmershäuser, Head of Forecasts at ifo.
"One reason for the growth spurt is the fiscal measures announced by the new German government."
Economic output already rose sharply by 0.4 percent in the first quarter of 2025. According to the ifo Institute, this was mainly due to exports to the US being brought forward. Private consumption and investment did, however, also increase again. At the same time, sentiment among companies had brightened since the start of the year. "The growing optimism is probably also being fueled by the hope that the new coalition will end the economic stagnation, and an agreement will be reached in the trade dispute with the US," says Wollmershäuser.

A United Europe Can Shape the Global Economy
June 3, 2025--The European Union must unite to shape today's global economy, rather than be shaped by it
Not many places match the European Union for quality of life. Its workers enjoy more time off than in many other regions, yet their living standards are among the highest. Its core values of solidarity are exemplified in social contracts that ensure the state will care for those who need it.
Yet lately the EU has lost confidence in its economic model. Wealthier than China and more populous than the United States, it has been trailing both in growth and has fallen back in technological innovation since the global financial crisis. The growth gap is widening as the continent’s workforce shrinks, productivity stagnates, and trade tensions rise. And now governments are scrambling to boost defense spending to rely less on the United States for their security.
Can the EU rouse itself to meet the challenges of a new era marked by rapid geopolitical shifts and policy uncertainty? The newest issue of Finance & Development examines that question in depth.
