IMF: Won’t yet revise German GDP forecast after better than expected first-quarter

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) will not yet change its growth forecast for Germany after first-quarter growth came in stronger than expected, its mission chief for Germany said on Friday.

The positive development, a 0.4% q-o-q growth rate according to an official flash estimate, might have been driven by one-off effects, IMF's Enrica Detragiache said.

The IMF projects a full-year growth rate of 0.8% in Germany.
