Berlin, July 10 (BridgeNews) - The German government thinks real economic growth of around 2% this year and 2.25% next year is "still possible if economic growth performance recovers in the second half year and if the situation improves further," the German Finance Ministry on Monday evening said in a statement. The comment came after the International Monetary Fund on Monday lowered German real GDP forecast to about 1.25% in 2001.
