#FedHODL According to preliminary data released by the German Federal Statistical Office on Thursday, Germany's GDP in the fourth quarter declined by 0.2% compared to the previous three months, exceeding expectations. The financial website Forexlive commented that it is estimated that the German economy contracted by 0.2% overall last year, and is expected to shrink by 0.1% in 2023. If this trend continues in 2025, it will mark the first time that Germany has experienced three consecutive years of GDP decline since the reunification of East and West Germany in 1990.
