Alemanha ends 2025 with growth of 0.2% and the remaining quarters

In January 2025, with GDP growth of 0.2% and the last quarter was slightly better than expected, but industry and exports continue to weigh on us.

After the first estimate in January, the German Federal Statistical Office (DESATIS) confirms an increase in GDP by 0.2% until 2025.

According to data released today, between January and December, gross domestic product (GDP) currently grew by 0.3%, compared to the original estimate, which was based on a growth rate of 0.2%.

“Focus on private and public consumption spending, which will grow” at the end of the year “especially excited for external trade,” notes Destatis.

“Ainda experienced several positive surprises in the German economy,” notes Jens-Oliver Niklasch from benchmark LBBW.

But “we are satisfied with their number [trimestral] because for three years we were more or less stagnant without growth,” says Niklasch.

After two consecutive years of recession, Berlin is hoping for a stronger recovery in 2026, driven by hundreds of billions of euros in public investment in defense and infrastructure.

Economy Minister Katherine Reiche tempered expectations this week, cutting the government’s growth forecast from 1.3% to 1%.

“Ainda is not an economic ‘boom’, but it is a start and the signs are encouraging,” the conservative Bundestag minister confirmed today.

Employers are asking Chancellor Merz’s government to speed up reforms to respond to an industry in crisis and protect EUA tariffs.

The crisis is also reflected in the business market: the number of unused customers who died in January at the brand of three thousand shoes, as well as in August, according to recently published official data.

In raw numbers, 3,084 million people were drained from Europe’s main economy in January, more than 177,000 more than a month ago.

The President of the Federal Employment Office Andrea Nahles, noting that “nothing is moving on the business market”, hopes that this level will be maintained for more than two months.

Taxa always, calculated with the correct data set and variation, remain at 6.3%.
