Germany is suffering from its high risk aversion

All groups of economic agents in Germany show high risk aversion, which has led to: Excess savings by the government, households and companies , which is weakening growth in the short and long term; A preference for investment in government bonds, German (which has led to negative long-term interest rates in Germany, and which is leading to hardship for savers) as well as non-European and in particular US, which is weakening euro-zone growth in the short and long term, and therefore weakening growth in Germany. Germany's high risk aversion is therefore a significant factor in the weakening of growth in Germany and the euro zone.
