Most German public and private forecasters are now estimating growth to be less than one percent for 2001. Germany is highly integrated into the global economy: just as the slowdown in German growth in late 1998 and early 1999 resulted mainly from adverse international economic conditions, so the cyclical upswing in 2000 was based on the recovery in global conditions.
