In its monthly report published on Monday, Germany's Bundesbank said that Germany is likely in recession now, citing weak external demand, muted consumption and cautious investments.
"There is still no recovery for the German economy," the publication read. "Output could decline again slightly in the first quarter of 2024. With the second consecutive decline in economic output, the German economy would be in a technical recession."
