Financial market and economic outlook 2015

2014 has been a remarkable year, also for us forecasters.

The return of the long-term saver?

Economic forecast 2014/2015

The German economy got off to a buoyant start to 2014. Industrial orders and production in January and February were well up on the corresponding level a year earlier. Retail sales in the first two months of the year were up markedly on late 2013 levels, exports and imports also rose substantially in January. The unemployment picture was also appreciably brighter than normal at the start of the year. This confirms our upbeat forecast for the German economy that we have been championing since mid-2013.

Economic forecast 2014

Following a lukewarm start to 2013 the German economy has gathered steam since the spring. Second-quarter growth of 0.7 percent was buoyed by catch-up effects in the construction sector, but further production increases are on the cards in the second half of the year.
