Sluggish Trades Affect Germany’s Economic Growth

 

The economic growth of Germany slowed down by 0.2 percent in the third quarter even though both the government and consumer spending has significantly increased. Mainly due to the feeble foreign trading that brought an impact to Europe’s largest economy.

However, the net foreign trade deducted 0.3 percentage point from GDP growth since exports fell by 0.4% while imports ascended by 0.2%. This implies that the companies are withholding investments in the brink of low monetary policies of the European Central Bank.

China Needs to Address Rising Leverage Concerns

 

China has to implement market-oriented reforms at a faster pace to counterbalance the climb in corporate leverage including the unnecessary disturbances in the state sector according to a U.S. Treasury official.  

 

The reform is said to include the removal of ‘state guarantees’ and financial sector that disproportionate State-owned Enterprises charged to private sector firms. The country has an estimated total of $18 trillion debt that represents partly of the GDP. They see the relevance of removal of barriers that limits the participation of local and foreign companies in the service sector in line with the shift in focus from a manufacturing-centered country.
