German economy grows for first time since 2022

This means that Europe's largest economy and an important trading partner for Sweden recorded its first year of growth - up 0.2 percent - since 2022.

The growth figure was in line with expectations, according to a Bloomberg survey.

Germany's economy is expected to continue growing by more than 1 percent per year in the coming years, according to economists. Support is expected from major fiscal investments in defense and infrastructure, among other things.
