Economists predict that Germany’s economy will experience a return to growth in 2025 following two years of contraction. Analysts surveyed by Bloomberg have expressed slightly more optimism regarding the country’s short-term economic prospects compared to other forecasters. According to the survey, Germany’s GDP is expected to increase by 0.2% this year, which represents a more positive outlook than the stagnation predicted in May’s poll. Looking ahead to 2026 and 2027, economists anticipate stronger growth of 1.1% and 1.7%, respectively, driven by significant increases in government spending on infrastructure and defense.
