After two years of contraction, Germany’s economic growth is set to plateau. Following a 0.2% decline in gross domestic product (GDP) the previous year, experts anticipate little to no economic growth in 2025. This contraction is largely due to ongoing trade conflict with the United States.

Germany’s economy is in a deep crisis, according to the Federation of German Industries (BDI), with the country heading towards three years of declining growth for the first time since the nation’s reunification in the 1990s. In the final quarter of 2024, the German economy shrank by 0.2% according to CNBC, with the GDP expected decrease by 0.1% during the same three-month period.

Germany’s GDP growth expectations for 2024 are expected to grow only 0.1%, down from a previous estimate of 1.3% as the country is stuck in “tricky waters,” according to German Economy Minister Robert Habeck.
