Will Germany‘s real GDP grow in 2025?

Current forecasts from major institutions show very modest growth expectations:

• KfW Research [1]: 0.5%

• Bundesbank [2]: 0.2%

• German Council of Economic Experts [3]: 0.4%

Resolution will be based on the first official price-adjusted GDP growth figure for 2025 published by the Federal Statistical Office of Germany (Destatis) in early 2026.
