12:29 AM EDT, 10/13/2026 (MT Newswires) -- The International Monetary Fund raised its German economic growth forecasts for 2026 and 2027, even as the global economy navigates supply shocks from the war in the Middle East and a moderating technology cycle. The IMF now expects Germany's economy to grow 1.3% in 2026 and 1.1% in 2027, up from the July estimates of 0.7% and 1%, respectively, according to the World Economic Outlook update published Tuesday. On inflation, consumer price growth in the eurozone's largest economy is projected at 2.7% in 2026, before rising to 3.1% in 2027.
