The German economy in October 2022 – things are never as bad as they seem, hopefully

While the war at the eastern and southern front is (not very much but still) progressing in favour of Ukraine, Russia continued its attacks on civil infrastructure unabated (for regular updates, cf. here, in German). After hope for the German economy was (thus) already in short supply in July (cf. here), everything seemed to be in dire straits in August (here) and despair was brewing in September (here), it might be that things won’t indeed turn out as bad as originally thought, at least some hope came up in the course of the month. But, hey, let’s take a closer look on how the German economy fared in October 2022:

The German economy in September 2022 – despair is brewing

While the war at the eastern and southern front is still very much progressing in favour of the Ukraine, Russia, under the leadership of Mr. Putin has – seemingly over recognising that a military victory is not feasible – startet to destroy Ukraine’s civil infrastructure (for regular updates, cf. here, in German). Hope was already in short supply in July (cf. here) and everything seemed to be in dire straits in August (here). So, let’s take a closer look on how the German economy fared in September 2022:

Fog of War – 19. Oktober 2022 – Tag 238

Nachdem der Intimus von Herrn Scholz, Herr Wolfgang Schmidt, in der letzten Woche noch mal das wahre Gesicht der SPD zeigen konnte (hier), zeigt sich Herr Klingbeil nun reuig und gesteht, dass die SPD in den letzten Jahren Fehler im Umgang mit Russland begangen habe (hier). Nun ja. Ich erspare mir und uns mal die Kommentare, die mir so auf der Feder liegen. Wir haben was Besseres zu tun.

The German economy in August 2022 – dire straits?

The war in Ukraine is progressing very nicely – for the Ukraine, for the Russians not so much (for regular updates, cf. here, in German). Despite (or because?) of this development, hope was already in short supply in the last month (cf. here). Now, with our Ukrainian brothers (and sisters) in arms recovering lost ground, we seem to be in dire straits. But hey, let’s take a closer look:

The German economy in July 2022 – hope is in short supply now

The war in Ukraine currently sees a change of initiative – from Russia to Ukraine (for regular updates, cf. here, in German) which seem to validate the optimism Germany’s economy developed already in June 2022 (cf. here). Still, the question is whether this optimism is warranted – which I denied. So, let’s take a closer look:

The German economy in June 2022 – still prevailing optimism creates its own risks

While the war in Ukraine continued unabated (for regular updates, cf. here, in German), the German economy developed some hope in May 2022 (cf. here). Hence, the question in June is whether this optimism was and is still warranted. So, let’s take a closer look:

The German economy in May 2022 – optimism and hope warranted?

After the reality of the war in Ukraine (for regular updates, cf. here, in German) has set-in in Germany, making for a mixed (economic) bag in April (cf. here) the question is how the German economy fared in May 2022. So, let’s take a closer look:

The German economy in April 2022 – slow recognition

In April 2022 the war in Ukraine (for regular updates, cf. here, in German) was also dominating the economic headlines in Germany, while Corona slowly faded from the front pages. After the reality of the war and other factors hindering a swift ecomic upturn had seemingly set in with the German economy in March 2022 (here), the question is how it fared in April. So, let’s take a closer look:

So, Finnlands Führung zeigt nun mehr oder minder formell an, dass das Land der Nato beitreten will (hier). Herr Putin erreicht nicht nur seine Kriegsziele nicht, er schafft es auch, „Hirntote“ (hier) wieder zu beleben (böser Twitter Kommentar dazu hier). Heute geht es erneut um prägnante Verluste RUS Kräfte und  – da Freitach – ein kleiner „Long Read“ mit Anregungen, über die konkreten Auswirkungen der Zeitenwende nachzudenken.
