  1. literally everyone will outperform the german economy

  2. I love the “admits,” as if it’s an embarrassing concession

    What’s worse — Brexit, or substantial energy dependence on Russia?

    I suppose we’ll see…

  3. This makes a change. I thought the UK would be the worst out of the G7, then it was g12 fuck the amount of articles telling me living in the UK will be like some mad max style of living.

  4. Now Barry can afford either extra pints at the pub, or get his teeth fixed. I’d be buying those brewery stocks, not denture manufacturing stocks.

  5. People are absolutely obsessed with convincing others that the UK is dead and that sanctions have crippled Russia. It’s a weekly headline for some reason.

  6. Is ‘outperform’ the right term if the economy grows a bit more?

    My understanding of outperform is total value, not just change. I read Germany is in a recession, but losing 1000 billion in gdp and two ranks on the global scale almost made me spit out my sausage and sauerkraut in shock.

  7. As per usual, when you see one of these articles, how is the median standard of living in the UK? Increasingly shite.

  8. Meh… the brits have had a lot of shit thrown at them recently, they to should be allowed to see some light at the end of the tunnel

  9. Excellent news, I’m sure this economic upturn will surely benefit the average man and not be entirely collected as corporate profits and shareholder dividends

  10. The IMF also predicted Russia’s economy to grow, so let’s wait and see.

  11. Germany’s economy is heavily dependent on manufacturing which was hit very hard by the energy crisis, loss of Russia as an export market, and China’s weak rebound. Plus all-round less demand for goods in this economy. It is currently dragging them down with the service sector doing Well.

  12. Country X is expected to outperform Germany.
    or
    UK is expected to outperform IMF predictions.

    should not be a surprise to anyone with a brain.

  13. Russian Bulgarian asset I mean IMF head comes up with another 180.

    Neither is good. We need both the German and UK economies to perform well for the global family of democracies to succeed. They’re (still) more connected than people give it credit for. There can be no us vs them mentality. It’ll only harm the European continent.. us all.

    The only reason we’re in the mess we’re in is because the elderly didn’t listen; didn’t unify Europe faster and we’ve become the ‘plaything’ of the US and Russia. Mass immigration as a result of wars started out of our control, fighting in Ukraine because of a nutty moron who can’t accept his wannabe empire is a gas station.

    This would’ve never happened had the ‘let’s split Korea in 2’, ‘Let’s split Cyprus in 2’, ‘Israel peace plan and Vietnam abandonment’ generation actually acted for the betterment of future generations.. but alas they took what they could, (ab)used what they could and now they casually penetrate us till they finally die off.

    Extra points for who got the plaything Kohl reference!

  14. In my experience if the IMF say it then it probably won’t happen.

  15. And Polish economy will outperform Britain in 2030. Everything works as planned.

  16. England is living in one of the worst financial crisis for its citizens, many relying on food banks. If the city of London and all its dodgy billionaire dealing wasn’t included I would like to see how the British economy looks then.

  17. Torygraph shits on Germany.

    That’s a unique occurence. Normally these guys are so good on Germany.

    In this situation this reports feels a bit like “*We might burn for years now and thats definetly not because of Tories and Brexit are drilling us Sandwich style while a global pandemic, a large-scale war and climate change beat their meat and add to this shitfest we call 2023.* ***But Look!*** *Germany suffers too!*”.

    You can literally smell how delighted they are because things don’t run smooth in Germany.
