The Ministry of Finance warns that progress in the second half of the year will be moderated.

The German Ministry of Finance has advanced on Friday that the growth of Europe’s largest economy has slowed in the second quarter and the outlook for the second half of the year are a step forward “moderate.”According to the monthly report released this department for the month of July, the GDP growth was below the 0.5% rise recorded between January and March.

Without giving specific figures, the Ministry justified its warning in recent declines in industrial production and weakening business confidence that has been caused by the worsening of the crisis in the eurozone. “The overall picture of the indicators indicates a moderate development of gross domestic product (GDP) for the rest of the year,” it said.

Domestic demand, “the most important support for economic growth in Germany” today, and the gentle but constant rise of the occupation will continue to maintain the pulse of growth in Germany, argues the text.This partially offset the collapse of exports, the traditional mainstay of the German economy, and the “weakening of the export dynamics” provided by the Ministry of Finance for the rest of the year. In addition, the monthly report indicates that the Ministry of Finance expects that industrial activity in Germany remains a “quiet walk” in the second half of 2012.

Finally, the department heads Schäuble Wolfwang relaxation values of inflation, which in June fell back slightly in Europe’s largest economy.“The price climate in Germany has further reassured” because of the withdrawal of the global economic situation, reasoned the document.

A survey of analysts by Reuters suggests that GDP will grow by 0.2% in the second and third quarter and by 0.3% in the last three months of the year. So far, Germany has remained largely immune to the problems of the euro zone and the bloc has helped to avoid recession with expansion of 0.5% in the beginning of the year.
