Deutsche Bank analyst Robin Winkler has reviewed Germany's GDP growth outlook, forecasting a modest expansion of nearly 1% in 2027. However, Winkler expects growth to gradually decline, approaching zero percent by 2030 as demographic challenges weigh heavily on the country's economic potential, according to FX Street.
The projected slowdown reflects concerns over an aging population and shrinking workforce, which are expected to significantly limit Germany's long-term growth prospects. These demographic factors pose structural constraints that could hinder investment and productivity gains in the coming decade.
