CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM ON GERMANY
Deutsche Bank has raised its forecast for German gross domestic product, now expecting it to grow by 0.3% in 2024, after previously forecasting a 0.2% contraction.
Still, it is still cautious on Germany because of the structural challenges ahead.
The bank expects the GDP of Europe's biggest economy to have grown by 1.4% in the last quarter of the year.
DB's analysts attribute this optimism, or at least lack of pessimism, to a recovery in private consumption and growth in exports. Further to this, they expect elevated household savings rates to slip faster than previously forecast.
Some tailwinds, however, need to be considered to explain this stagnation-sounding forecast. Deutsche Bank remains concerned about an investment outlook it sees as "muted".
Given the uncertainty over the chances of an imminent drop in interest rates, DB says the construction sector remains in recession and believes a recovery in residential investment is unlikely.
Germany's largest landlord Vonovia VNAn.DE said this week it expects to return to growth from 2025 at the latest, after it reported in March its biggest ever loss amidst a changing landscape that lacks the cheap money that fuelled a decade-long boom.
Outside construction, DB says policy uncertainty is hampering business investment generally.
The DAX .GDAXI is up 0.33% today, while the mid-cap index .MDAXI is up 0.23%.
