Spain GDP beats Germany's

[C6H12O6]

Germany's gross domestic product expanded just 0.1 percent in April-June from the previous quarter, missing forecasts for 0.5 percent and knocking regional growth figures below expectations too. ... The data showed Germany grew more slowly than battered, debt-ridden Spain, which expanded by 0.2 percent.

Will Spain have to pay for Germany now ?

These are percentages man. Germany grew more than Spain nominally.

Italy&USA are the only two growing better than first quarter (0,1%).

Italy +0,3%
USA +0,3%
UK +0,2%
Spain +0,2%
Germany +0,1%
France 0 % :eek:
Japan -0,3%

Amazing uh ?
USA grows like Italy.
Italy&Spain will now have to bailout Germany&France

I have a question: What's the cause of slowdown in countries like Germany w/ GDP 0.1%?

And say they fix the mess in Greece, Italy and Spain, would that bump Germany GDP back to 2% to 3%?
