Jin10 data reported on April 24, that the German government lowered its economic growth forecast on Thursday, now expecting the economy to stagnate in 2025 instead of a 0.3% growth, as uncertainties from global trade disputes will hinder economic growth and suppress investment. Germany is the only G7 economy that has not grown in the past two years, and Trump's tariff policy may result in Europe's largest economy experiencing no growth for the first time in history for three consecutive years. Germany's export-oriented economy has fallen into a predicament of weak global demand for its products and foreign companies undermining its competitiveness. By 2026, the German government expects the economy to grow by 1%, slightly lower than the 1.1% predicted in January, and expects some growth under the leadership of incoming Chancellor Merz. Following a decline of 1.1% in 2024, exports are expected to decrease by 2.2% this year, with a growth of 1.3% expected next year.
