The German economy is expected to rise around 2 percent this year, more or less 0.1 percent, according to the German Economy Minister Peter Altmaier on Monday.
It is possible to reach as much as 3 percent but companies’ efforts are not sufficient to attain higher growth as there is a lack of skilled workers to raise their output.
Around the beginning of the month, the Ifo economic institute adjusted higher their rate forecast of German GDP to 1.9 percent from 1.8 percent this year which is indicative of good performance in the first six months of the year.
