| | Economy of Germany - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Although the state intervenes in the economy through the provision of subsidies to selected sectors and the ownership of some segments of the economy, competition and free enterprise are promoted as a matter of government policy. | | | Germany uses the common European currency, the Euro, and its monetary policy is set by the European Central Bank. | | | Germany finances its reunification to a large extent by social insurance contributions, forcing up non-wage labour costs. |

| | Germany - Domestic Economy and International Economic Relations |
| | The German government and the Bundesbank, Germany's central bank, are active participants in formal and informal international institutions and arrangements concerned with global finance and the coordination of national economic policies. | | | The social market economy, in which all elements of the system cooperate, stresses the importance of having all parties to the social contract work together. | | | Despite occasional crises--such as the effects of the United States decision to end the dollar's link to gold in 1971 and of the "oil shocks" of the 1970s that resulted from exporters' sharp increases in the price of petroleum--the global economic scene has been remarkably stable in comparison with that of the 1920s and 1930s. |

| | The official government forecast for 2002 is a modest 0.75 percent which implies a further increase of unemployment and a critical rise of the budget deficit. | | | In a growing economy, the long-term government debt-to-GDP ratio is determined by dividing the deficit ratio by the growth rate. | | | Since Eichel was neither willing to strongly cut Germany's very high subsidies to ailing industries nor to raise value-added tax rates or impose taxes on wealth, the German government failed to combine the requirements of achieving fiscal consolidation and stimulating efficiency and economic growth, respectively. |

| | And the decline of Germany’s economy and Germany’s role in the world is all but inevitable unless dramatic reforms are taken soon. | | | Germany cannot hold its own without a wholesale revamping — without reinventing its economy. | | | This means that not only must there be a change in “product mix” of the German economy, but that old methods of business and financial and labor organizations must also change. |

| | Germany economy shrinks - Feb. 27, 2002 |
| | A recession in the U.S., one of Germany's biggest trading partners, has dampened demand for exports leading to a rise in unemployment and a fall in consumer spending. | | | But economists also acknowledged that there are signs that the economy will improve by the second half of this year. | | | Publicly traded companies in German have cut about 130,000 jobs in the past year as global demand weakened and have curtailed spending on new equipment. |

| | Indeed, Germany's ailing economy has severe consequences for the other members of the eurozone as it accounts for about 30 percent of gross domestic product in the 12 countries that use the euro currency. | | | Declining growth, lower tax revenue and higher outlays for jobless benefits helped cause a federal deficit of about $77 billion last year, and at 3.7 percent of gross domestic product, the deficit was well above the 3-percent limit set by the European Union, the report said. | | | The head of Deutsche Bank, Germany's biggest bank, Josef Ackermann, called on the government to step up economic reforms to prevent it slipping behind its peers economically. |

| | In the short run, however, the fall in government revenues and the rise in expenditures has brought the deficit close to the EU's 3% debt limit. | | | Corporate restructuring and growing capital markets are setting the foundations that could allow Germany to meet the long-term challenges of European economic integration and globalization, particularly if labor market rigidities are addressed. | | | Structural rigidities in the labor market - including strict regulations on laying off workers and the setting of wages on a national basis - have made unemployment a chronic problem. |

| | To rein in the welfare system and make the economy more flexible, the government - after a long and bitter fight with unions and the political opposition - passed tough economic reforms in December. | | | Entire careers spent at one company, generous pension and healthcare plans, and ironclad job protection have proved too costly and have chased away investment, say analysts. | | | Under the adjustment, people working part-time jobs can earn up to 400 euros ($500) without having to pay taxes or social costs on the wage. |

| | Germany: Economy |
| | Since the postwar years, the German economy has emphasized management-labor consensus, which, while generally avoiding labor strife, has also created a relatively inflexible labor environment where employers are reluctant to hire more than the minimum required number of skilled workers, since it is difficult to fire them once they are hired. | | | Germany's "social market economy": between social ethos and rent seeking. | | | The Federal Republic of Germany has for many years benefited from a highly skilled population that enjoys a high standard of living and an extensive social welfare program. |

| | Germany - The Social Market Economy |
| | Beyond these principles of the social market economy, but linked to it, comes a more traditional German concept, that of Ordnung, which can be directly translated to mean order but which really means an economy, society, and polity that are structured but not dictatorial. | | | Moreover, the West German federal government and the states (Länder ; sing., Land) began to compensate for irregularities in economic cycles and for shifts in world production by beginning to shelter and support some sectors and industries. | | | The Germans proudly label their economy a "soziale Marktwirtschaft," or "social market economy," to show that the system as it has developed after World War II has both a material and a social--or human--dimension. |
