Saksamaa majandus langes esimeses kvartalis võrreldes 2008. aasta neljanda kvartaliga 3.8%, analüütikud olid prognoosinud 3.2% suurust langust. Võrreldes eelmise aasta sama ajaga ulatus langus 6.9%-ni. Tasub meenutada, et USA esimese kvartali majanduslangus oli 6.1%. Kui ka teises kvartalis vahe Saksamaa kahjuks tiksub, peaks see andma üsna ammendava vastuse ECB tegevuse(tuse) kohta.

Eelmise aastaga võrreldes kukkus kogutoodang -4.6%. Aprillikuu inflatsioon oli 0.6% vs 0.6% märtsis ning 3.3% aasta tagasi.
