Summary
Germany’s economy will expand only “slightly” in the third quarter after posting growth of 0.3% or more in each of the first two quarters, the Bundesbank said.
Low water levels on the Rhine and other temporary factors are expected to restrain activity between July and September rather than signal a broader downturn.
The Bundesbank said those short-term drags should fade, allowing the economy to regain momentum toward the end of 2026.
