Germany is often held up as a model of economic success. But is this
completely right? Where are there little-known weaknesses and dangers in
Germany?
We look at:
- Trends in the standard of living and in inequalities;
- The effects of population ageing and migration flows on potential growth and fiscal and external solvency;
- The productive positioning of the economy, its level of sophistication and the possible emergence of new competitors;
- The situation in terms of technological progress (productivity, innovation, etc.).
The negative or dangerous points are:
- The low potential growth;
- The market share losses to new competitors in key German industries;
- The weakness of productivity gains and technological progress
