Summary
Germany’s economy is in freefall, worse than during the pandemic, with over a quarter of businesses calling their situation “poor” and a third expecting things to get worse next year—only one in eight optimistic.

Exporters are also reeling, facing a challenging and uncertain outlook. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
