(ANSA-AFP) - BERLIN, APR 27 - Germany raised its growth
forecast for 2021 on Tuesday, offering a glimpse of light at the
end of the coronavirus pandemic tunnel as vaccinations finally
begin to gather pace in Europe's biggest economy. "Today's
spring projection is an encouragement despite the current
serious infectious situation," Economy Minister Peter Altmaier
said, upgrading the outlook for 2021 growth to 3.5 percent from
3.0 percent previously. "This is the year when we will really
see a trend reversal," he added. The recovery is expected to
extend to 2022, with growth of 3.6 percent for next year,
according to the latest government forecasts. (ANSA-AFP).
