The German Council of Economic Experts (GCEE) lowered its growth forecast on Wednesday. The German economy is expected to expand 1.5% in 2016, down from its previous estimate of 1.6%, and 1.6% in 2017. The downward revision was driven by weaker external demand.
Eurozone's inflation is expected to be 0.2% in 2016, down from its previous forecast of 1.1%, and 1.1% in 2017.
