Germany is facing a broad-based, domestic-driven economic upswing, official data indicated yesterday, with forecasted growth hitting 1.8 per cent this year and 2 per cent in 2015. After growth of just 0.4 per cent in 2013, Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy said he was optimistic the “solid upturn” in the economy would not be clouded by uncertainty in Ukraine. On the other hand, Germany has some of the biggest links to Russia.
