Konjunkturprognose Ostdeutschland und Sachsen 2011/2012

Tue, 20 Dec 2011 11:00:00 +0100

"Das preisbereinigte Bruttoinlandsprodukt Ostdeutschlands (mit Berlin) wird im kommenden Jahr voraussichtlich um 0,5 % und damit geringfügig stärker als in Deutschland insgesamt steigen. Maßgeblich hierfür ist die spezifische Ausrichtung der ostdeutschen Industrie auf die heimischen Märkte. Mit nachlassendem gesamtwirtschaftlichem Expansionstempo dürfte sich die Zahl der Erwerbstätigen im kommenden Jahr auf dem heutigen Niveau stabilisieren."

Ifo Economic Forecast 2011/2012: Debt Crisis Curbs German Economy

Wed, 14 Dec 2011 10:00:00 +0100

Gross domestic product in Germany increased significantly until recently. The Ifo Business Climate Index and other leading indicators show, however, that the German economy is facing a downturn. The weakening world economy and the European debt crisis are the main factors behind this. The dependency of economic developments on the decisions made by Europe's politicians complicates the forecast considerably by making radically different plausible scenarios possible. Based on the assumption that the euro crisis does not worsen and that Italy in particular can continue to finance itself via the capital market, it should be possible to avoid a recession in Germany. Germany's GDP is nevertheless only expected to increase by 0.4% in 2012. Growth in employment is therefore expected to slow significantly. Supported by demographic factors, however, the number of unemployed should still decrease by around 140,000.
