The German economy in October 2020 – Lockdown 2.0

Before the Lockdown 2.0, the German German economy – after bottoming out in May (cf. here) – rebounded in June (cf. here), July (cf. here) and August (here) – and somewhat climaxed in September 2020 (here). The question, hence, is whether in anticipation of the new Lockdown in Germany (which finally came into force only on 2 November 2020 but was heavily discussed since mid-October) already put a break on the rising economy in October. So, let’s look into the German economy in some more detail:

The German economy in September 2020 – climax?

Again, unfortunately, close to the eleventh hour of October I am able to review the fate of the German economy in September. And, again, the German German economy – after bottoming out in May (cf. here) – started its rebound in June (cf. here), the rebound gaining momentum in July (cf. here), and August (here), and continued its upward trend in September 2020. But, hey, let’s look into the German economy in some more detail:

The German economy in August 2020 – licking its wounds

Literally at the eleventh hour of September I got to finish my review of the German economy in August – rather for purposes of chronology than actual information. Still it is a worthwhile look to behold, the German German economy – after bottoming out in May (cf. here) – started its rebound in June (cf. here), the rebound gaining momentum in July (cf. here), August figures overall seem to indicate a further strengthening of this trend. But, hey, let’s look into the German economy in some more detail:

Morning Briefing 22. September 2020 – Alles wird gut

Guten Morgen,

Seit dem 29. Juli 2019 habe ich ja den Vorsatz, nicht nur als Cassandra durch die Gegend zu irrlichtern, sondern auch zu versuchen, konstruktive Wege aus dem  Schlamassel aufzuzeigen (hier). Und tatsächlich bewegt sich was in Deutschland, was ich konstruktiver Weise mal aufzeigen kann:

The German economy in July 2020 – the sky is the limit! Sure?

After the German economy bottomed out in May (cf. here) and started its rebound in June (cf. here), most parameters indicate that the German economy is recuperating rather swiftly. But, hey, let’s look into the German economy in some more detail:

The German economy in June 2020 – rebound?

Morning Briefing 25. Juni 2020 – IWF // OECD // IFO-Geschäftsklimaindex

Guten Morgen,

Die causa Wirecard entwickelt sich zu einer schlechten Ausgabe alter Heldensagen: Der gefallene Held (Braun) muss Aktien verkaufen, um seine Kaution zu stellen (hier), während sein treuer Knecht () erst mal in den Sonnenuntergang – vulgo auf die Philippinen – reitet, um den heiligen Gral (fehlende Euro 1,9 Mrd.) wieder zu finden, um den erzürnten König (in der multipolaren Form des Herr Finanzminister Scholz (hier), des Präsidenten des BaFin Hufeld (hier) und Frau Staatsanwältin Hildegard Bäumler-Hösl (hier)) zu besänftigen. Derweil fragen sich einige Knappen der Ritterrunde, wieso der Rest überhaupt an den Gral geglaubt hat, es sei doch eh alles Blendwerk gewesen (hier). Ich bin mir sicher, demnächst können wir in dieser causa auch „Des Kaisers neue Kleider“ nachspielen – mit den selben schlechten Schauspielern….

The German economy in May 2020 – bottomed out yet?

Throughout the last month, the bad news kept indeed (cf. here) constantly flowing in like waves on a beach. Given the easing of the lockdown and the first tentative steps to reopen the economy at the end of May the question is whether the German economy already bottomed out. To get a grip on that, let’s look into the German economy in some more detail:

The German economy in March 2020 – in anticipation….

The Corona-Pandemic is cutting through the global economy like a hot knife through an ice-cake – and the German economy is awaiting its „cut“ from the overall cake, so to say (or to stick last months parlour (here): awaiting its piece of sh*** coming back from the fan). But hey, let’s look into the German economy in some more detail:
