BERLIN (Reuters) – The German economy, Europe’s largest, is in its most grave economic situation since World War Two, Economy Minister Peter Altmaier said on Friday.
“The German economy is in a situation that is more serious than anything we have experienced in the post-war period,” Altmaier said, though he added that the core of the economy is healthy.
