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).

Morning Briefing – 22. Juli 2020 – USA-Special

Guten Morgen,

So langsam kristallisieren sich die wahren Ergebnisse des EU-Gipfels heraus: Demnach hat Frau Merkel es geschafft, Euro 1 Milliarde an Einmalzahlung herauszuschlagen (hier) – dafür darf Deutschland ab jetzt scheinbar Euro 45 Mrd. pro Jahr mehr an die EU überweisen (hier).
