(ANSA-AFP) - BERLIN, JAN 29 - The German government on
Wednesday cut its growth projections for 2025 amid domestic
political instability and the looming threat of higher US
tariffs under President Donald Trump. Output is now expected to
increase by only 0.3 percent this year, the economy ministry
said in a report, down from its previous estimate of 1.1 percent
made in October. Europe's largest economy looks set to extend
its run of poor performance in 2025, after it shrank in each of
the past two years. "Germany is stuck in stagnation," Economy
Minister Robert Habeck told a press conference in Berlin. The
downward revision to the forecast was "mainly due" to the fact
that measures intended to encourage growth were not fully
implemented because of the collapse of the government, the
report said. (ANSA-AFP).
