    Germany's gross domestic product expanded just 0.1 percent in April-June from the previous quarter, missing forecasts for 0.5 percent and knocking regional growth figures below expectations too. ... The data showed Germany grew more slowly than battered, debt-ridden Spain, which expanded by 0.2 percent.

    Will Spain have to pay for Germany now ? :D
     
  2. These are percentages man. Germany grew more than Spain nominally.

  4. I have a question: What's the cause of slowdown in countries like Germany w/ GDP 0.1%?

    And say they fix the mess in Greece, Italy and Spain, would that bump Germany GDP back to 2% to 3%?
