IWF lowers growth forecast for Germany.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has cut its forecast for Germany’s economic growth to 0.7 percent. This is because of the conflict in Iran. The IMF also predicts global growth will be 3.0 percent this year.
The IMF believes the conflict in Iran is hurting the German economy. It is disrupting trade through the Strait of Hormus. This has led to high fuel prices and inflation in Germany.
