Germany's Ifo Institute Reduces 2024 GDP Forecast
This is the second time this year that Ifo has cut the German growth forecast for 2024, now to 0.2% from the previous 0.7% in January. The institute attributes this to consumer restraints, high interest rates, price increases, government austerity measures, and the weak global economy.
Highlights:
- Ifo expects German economic output to rebound around mid-2024
- 2025 growth estimate raised to 1.5% from 1.3%
- Inflation forecasted to decline to 2.3% in 2024 and 1.6% in 2025
