Economic output in Germany dipped slightly in the second quarter of 2019. The Bundesbank’s current Monthly Report states that this was primarily due to ongoing weakness in export-oriented industry.

According to the latest Bundesbank projections, the German economy will recover following a deep recession in the second quarter of this year. Economic output is estimated to shrink by 7% in 2020, but in the next two years, real gross domestic product (GDP) will then increase by 3 to 4% per year.

This year, the Deutsche Bundesbank will be celebrating its 60th anniversary. The legislation which brought it into being, the Bundesbank Act (Gesetz über die Deutsche Bundesbank), was signed into law on 26 July 1957 by the Federal President.

On 27 and 28 February 2014, the Bundesbank will be hosting a two-day symposium with high-level academics, policymakers, business representatives and central bankers on "Financial Stability and the Role of Central Banks" in Frankfurt am Main.

Italy's Minister of Economy and Finance, Pier Carlo Padoan, believes that the current political and economic uncertainty is one of Europe's most pressing problems.

The Deutsche Bundesbank was founded on 1 August 1957. For sixty years it has ensured a stable currency. In 2017, the Bundesbank is commemorating this anniversary with a variety of public events.

Economic activity in Germany is likely to gradually pick up momentum again, according to the Bundesbank’s latest forecast. Alongside the greatly supportive fiscal policy and highly expansionary monetary policy, this is chiefly due to a rebound in export growth following an extended period of weakness.

According to the Bundesbank’s current projection, economic activity in Germany will experience a marked slowdown. This is primarily due to the ongoing downturn in industry, which is suffering from weak growth in exports. However, the experts at the Bundesbank do not currently expect a significant, more persistent decline in economic output.
