民众消费热情和企业投资让德国经济如虎添翼
位于威斯巴登的德国联邦统计局最初数据显示,与今年头三个月相比,德国第二季度的GDP增幅为0.5%。今年第一季度则为0.4%。 作为欧洲最大经济体,德国4月到6月的经济增长主要归因于民众持续的消费热情。就业市场创纪录的景气局面以及收入增加营造了良好的气氛。德国市场研究公司捷孚凯(GfK)预计,市民收入将进一步增长,消费意愿也将增加。德卡银行(Dekanbank)经济师朔伊尔勒(Andreas Scheuerle)表示,"在就业和工资增长带动下,私人消费是经济的核心支柱。"他说,在一个商业冲突、制裁以及民粹主义对外贸发展构成危险的动荡时期,这一点尤为令人欣慰。 与此同时,包括社会福利和员工工资在内的国家消费支出也在上涨。与第一季度相比,企业对设备、建筑和其它设施的投资也在增加。
