Germany’s economy will fare better than previously expected, with no severe economic downturn despite the European energy crisis, the Bundesbank said Friday, although still to a greater degree than forecast in June.

GDP growth will drop from an estimated 1.8% this year to 0.5% next year, before returning to 1.7% in 2024 and by 1.4% in 2025, the the German central bank said in an update on the economy. Inflation is expected to fall to 7.2% next year, 4.1% in 2024 and 2.8% by 2025.

“Compared with the June projection, the rate of change in GDP for 2023 has been revised considerably downwards,” Buba president Joachim Nagel said. ““While economic output is likely to contract initially, we expect that the economy will gradually recover from the second half of 2023 onwards.”
