German Economy Grows Less than Forecast in Q3
Germany's economy grew by 1.8 percent on quarter in July-September 2021, following an upwardly revised 1.9 percent expansion in the previous three-month period and missing market expectations of 2.2 percent, a preliminary estimate showed. Growth was mainly attributable to higher household final consumption expenditure, while supply chain disruptions and shortages of raw materials, as well as a surge in energy prices, weighed on the recovery. On a yearly basis, the economy grew by 2.5 percent, slowing from a 9.8 percent expansion in the previous period. The German government in October has lowered its forecast for GDP growth to 2.6 percent this year, from 3.5 percent previously estimated.
