Makroökonomische Indikatoren

The economy is projected to grow by 0.3% in 2025, 1% in 2026 and 1.5% in 2027 (GDP with working day adjustments). Private consumption will increase due to low inflation, rising nominal wages and decreasing domestic policy uncertainty. High trade policy uncertainty and US tariffs will hamper investment in export‑oriented manufacturing and foreign demand. Private investment will pick up, supported by high corporate savings, declining interest rates and lower domestic policy uncertainty. Public spending on defence and infrastructure will rise strongly due to the increased flexibility in the fiscal rules and large investment needs.
