EME Macro/Strategy: Germany – the sick man of Europe again

In July, the sentiment indices computed by the European Commission highlighted that the situation in Germany is worsening, at an accelerating speed; while, in the rest of Europe, the decoupling seen in recent months continued. Inevitably, the worse the outlook in Germany, the lower the outlook for the rest of Europe, but we believe that, to a large extent, the decoupling we can see will last, as there are structural reasons Germany may underperform for several more years, while other countries are doing their best to offset the external headwinds. We highlight the continuing downside risks for the consensus expectations for the Eurozone and the rising risk of an outright stagnation in Germany.
