Germany export growth to slow in 2023 - govt economic report

·1 min read

BERLIN, Jan 25 (Reuters) - German export growth is expected to slow to 2.2% this year after an increase of 3.2% last year, according to the government's annual economic report that was seen by Reuters on Wednesday.

German unemployment is seen at 5.4% in 2023, slightly above the 5.3% seen in 2022, according to the report.

Germany is expected to narrowly avoid recession this year with price-adjusted growth of 0.2%, the report said, in line with a report by Reuters last week. (Reporting by Christian Kraemer Writing by Miranda Murray Editing by Rachel More)

  • Sticky underlying inflation set to keep ECB on its toes

    FRANKFURT (Reuters) -Euro zone inflation eased for the third straight month in January but any relief for the European Central Bank may be limited as underlying price growth held steady and concerns have already been raised about the reliability of the figures. Inflation across the 20 countries that use the euro fell to 8.5% last month from 9.2% in December, driven by a fall in energy costs even as food and industrial goods kept upward pressure on prices, Eurostat data showed on Wednesday. Price growth has been in rapid decline since peaking at a record 10.6% in October but the ECB has already promised more interest rate hikes, fearing that without higher borrowing costs inflation could become entrenched above its 2% target.
