The German economy is facing many difficulties. It is forecast to fall into recession this year. According to forecasts of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), Germany will be the only major economy in the G7 group to have negative growth in 2023. Inflation in Germany is currently at 6.5% in the month July 2023 and will likely continue to stand at a high level for a long time before dropping to the 2% target set by the ECB, despite energy prices cooling down. So it is expected that in the next months, Vietnamese pangasius exports to Germany will not increase yet.
