Germany is expected to narrowly escape recession and post modest growth in the first quarter of the year, according to an economy ministry report published on Friday.
"A technical recession of two negative quarters in a row appears to have been averted," the ministry said.
The institute's Joint Economic Forecasts anticipate a 0.1% expansion in GDP in the first quarter. This follows a 0.4% contraction in the fourth quarter of 2022. "Consumer sentiment is expected to continue its recovery in the coming months, although inflation-related losses in purchasing power continue to weigh on the economy," the report said.

Germany scales back cannabis liberalization after EU talksGermany's government has presented scaled-back plans to liberalize the country’s rules on cannabis. The proposal issued on Wednesday would decriminalize possession of limited amounts and allow members of nonprofit “cannabis clubs” to buy marijuana for recreational purposes. The health minister says German officials also envision setting up regional test projects to sell cannabis through “commercial supply chains.” But the proposal differs from one he presented in October that foresaw allowing the sale of cannabis to adults across the country at licensed outlets. The government revised the plan following talks with the European Union’s executive commission. Germany has allowed some patients to get cannabis as a prescription medication since 2017.
