Why it matters

Economists believe that Europe's growth prospects are heavily reliant on Germany's increased spending, but even with this boost, the rate of output growth is expected to slow down. A recent FT survey supports this view, highlighting the challenges facing the European economy. The survey suggests that Germany's fiscal push may not be enough to offset the slowdown in growth.
