Germany 's economy has not seen real economic growth for five years .

The economy is mired in stagnation and angst about the future.

Germany 's bureaucracy, shortage of skilled workers, slow deployment of technology and lack of clear direction from outgoing coalition government are among them.

Germany 's economy contracted in each of the last two years .

By the end of 2024 , it was only 0.3% bigger than it was in 2019 , before the pandemic.

The U.S. economy grew by 11.4% during the same period, while China 's expanded by 25.8% .
