Abstract

The coronavirus epidemic has been crippling much of China since January this year. If growth in China slows down by one percentage point this year as a result of the epidemic, this will dampen the rise in gross domestic product in Germany by 0.06 percentage points. However, there are some indications that the German economy could also be more severely affected.
