Germany Is Europe’s Sick Man, But Others Are Coughing
==========

Germany is experiencing economic contraction and is expected to deliver little to no growth for the year. The industrial powerhouse has been affected by subdued demand and a deglobalizing world. Other economies in the euro zone, such as the Netherlands, Ireland, and France, are also facing challenges. Trade-dependent countries like the Netherlands and Ireland are stalling, while France is experiencing meager growth despite a deficit. Anemic investment and productivity growth are tempering optimism that a recession can be avoided.
