- The German economic recovery will be moderate with predominately downside risks.
- GDP growth will be 1.5% in 2010 and 1.9% in 2011, the IMF forecasts.
- Budget cutting should begin as soon as the economy firms, which the IMF sees in 2011.
- There is little time to address the remaining risks in the German financial sector, the IMF reports. The health of the sector has improved, though.
- Export growth will be limited by US consumer restraint and muted euro area growth.
- The German deficit to GDP ratio will rise to 5.5% in 2010
