IMF Germany-2014 Article IV Consultation-Preliminary Conclusions
May 19, 2014--Key policy recommendations:
Germany can strengthen its role as an anchor of regional stability.
More infrastructure investment, further clarity on the energy regulatory framework, and reforms to further increase competition in the services sector would support growth in Germany and the rest of the euro area.
Future increases in the minimum wage should take into account potential adverse employment effects in regions with relatively high unemployment.
Banks should keep strengthening their capital position ahead of the completion of the ECB's Comprehensive Assessment.
1. The German recovery is expected to gain further momentum and keep outpacing that in the rest of the euro area. Germany remains an anchor of regional stability. Balance sheets are generally healthy, fiscal consolidation has been broadly achieved underpinning confidence, and financial conditions for enterprises are favorable. Private consumption should benefit from solid wage and employment growth, while business investment should continue to strengthen. However, while domestic demand is expected to contribute to growth more than in the past, the decline in the current account surplus is projected to be gradual. Risks to the outlook are broadly balanced. The main upside risk stems from the possibility of a long-awaited and stronger-than-expected rebound in private investment. Downside risks include faltering growth in the rest of the euro area, where domestic demand is constrained by the need to repair balance sheets both in the private and the public sectors, at a time when high unemployment and low and declining inflation are hampering the repair process. A sharp slowdown in emerging markets would negatively affect German exports, while an escalation in geopolitical tensions surrounding Ukraine would likely hit investment by increasing uncertainty and hurting market confidence.
