  • Debt crisis not over, still poses risk
  • High oil prices, weaker emerging market growth a risk
  • Consumer prices to rise 2.3% this year, 2.2% in 2013
  • Budget deficit to fall to 0.65 of GDP in 2012, 0.2% in 2013
  • Weak euro benefits German exporters
  • Domestic demand to be main driver of growth
  • ECB liquidity injections only buy time
