Germany facing double recession: DIHK fears biggest economic crisis in 20 years. For only the second time in post-war history, there will likely be a phase of two consecutive years of declining economic output.

Ifo sees home-made problems, said the President of the Munich Ifo Institute, Clemens Fuest. The Chancellor's pension increase in July will be 7.5 percent more.
