After enjoying a „promising start“ in January (here), a serious damper in February (here), the March outlook (here) proved to be too optimistic – even considering my caveats already at that time. But hey, let’s take a closer look:

…and maybe not rotten to the core. Still, to forecast the development of the German economy is more an art than science: While we enjoyed a „promising start“ in January (here), the February figures (here) put a serious damper on it. So let’s take a closer look on how the German economy fared in March 2023 to see how its going:

…might indeed prove to be from an incoming train and not – as I summised the previous months (while I thought in the summer 2022 that we were nearing a recession in 2023, a silver-lining already occured in October (here) which got even brighter in November (here) and December 2022 (here)) – and not the silver lining of a „promising start“ I made out in January (here). But hey, let’s take a closer look on how the German economy fared in February 2023 to find out more:

It is quite interesting how fast situations and perceptions can change: While I thought in the summer 2022 that we were nearing a recession in 2023, a silver-lining already occured in October (here) which got even brighter in November (here) and December 2022 (here). Hence, the question now is, will we be able to avoid a recession alltogether? In order to assess the situation, let’s take a closer look on how the German economy fared in January 2023:

Deutschland hat seine Sicherheit an die USA ausgelagert,
seinen Energiebedarf an Russland und
sein exportbedingtes Wirtschaftswachstum an China.“
Constanze Stelzenmüller, hier
Mehr noch als in den – teils coronageschwängerten – Vorjahren gerät der Blick in die Gaskugel bezüglich der wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung Deutschlands in 2023 zum angestrengten Stochern im Nebel. Zu viele Faktoren können die Entwicklung in die eine oder andere Richtung treiben. Aber selbst wenn 2023 positiver verläuft als gedacht – moderates Wirtschaftswachstum bei nachlassender Inflation – so stehen die Zeichen für die Jahre danach nicht positiv. Wie der nachfolgende Post zeigen wird, hat sich Deutschland in etwas über zwanzig Jahren – zumindest, was politische Zielsetzung und wirtschaftliche Resilienz angeht – lediglich einmal im Kreis gedreht – ohne die damaligen Probleme nachhaltig zu lösen.

The war in Ukraine was still raging, but even in Germany Corona became old news as 2022 drew to a close. Hence, the hope which came up in October already as to the fate of the German economy (here) stabilised in November (here) and got even better at the end of one of the most disturbing years I personally encountered in my not so short life-span. But, hey, let’s take a closer look on how the German economy fared in December 2022:

The war in Ukraine is still ongoin though there wasn’t too much actual movement throughout the month – probably due to Rasputitsa(for regular updates, cf. here, in German). The hope which came up last month as to the fate of the German economy (here) seems to somewhat stabilise now albeit on a low level. So, hey, let’s take a closer look on how the German economy fared in November 2022:
