Germany has raised its official growth forecasts to 1.3% for 2026 and 1.1% for 2027, up from 0.5% and 0.9%. The upgrade reflects stronger-than-expected economic performance, supported by government investment and improving exports.
Germany’s government raised its growth forecast to 1.3% for 2026 and 1.1% for 2027, the economy ministry said on 8 October, Reuters reported. April’s forecasts were 0.5% and 0.9%, respectively. The announcement formally confirms figures reported earlier in October. These are projections rather than realised GDP results, and future economic data will determine whether the expected recovery materialises. The revision is separate from today’s monthly trade release.
