Industrial production plunged again, ending the year 2023 at some 10% below pre-pandemic levels, but we are seeing the very first signs of light at the end of a long tunnel. The sharp drop in both exports and imports, as well as today's industrial production, not only illustrates the weakness of the German economy's backbone but also increases the risk of a downward revision of fourth quarter GDP growth.

The debate over whether Germany is emerging as the 'sick man of Europe' again has picked up steam once again over the summer. In our view, the answer is a resounding yes.

Germany's Economic Health Check Shows Further Signs Of Weakness

With the German economy remaining stagnant in the second quarter of 2023, take a look into how Germany-heavy ETFs perform.

Germany's Bearish Outlook Puts ETFs Under Spotlight

The second estimate of second-quarter GDP growth confirms the stagnation of Europe's largest economy and will do very little to end the 'sick man of Europe' debate. According to the just-released data, the German economy stagnated in the second quarter, after two quarters of contraction.

German Stagnation In The Second Quarter Confirmed

Another drop in Germany's most prominent leading indicator, the Ifo index, confirms that the economy is back on a downward trend before any upward trend had actually started. The optimism at the start of the year seems to have given way to more of a sense of reality.

The seasonally adjusted HCOB Flash Eurozone Composite PMI Output Index, based on approximately 85% of usual survey responses, dropped from 49.9 in June to 48.9 in July, its lowest since last November.

Eurozone business output growth came close to stalling in June, according to the latest HCOB flash PMI survey data produced by S&P Global, pointing to renewed weakness in the economy after the brief growth revival recorded in the spring. Backlogs of work fell at the steepest rate for seven months, reflecting the sustained (albeit moderating) output growth at a time of falling inflows of new work.
