2010-08-27 OfficialWire: Germany Food And Drink Report Q4 2010 - New Market Report Published

Slowdown in China - As an export driven economy the major risk to our German outlook is the prospect of a more intense slowdown in China than we are currently forecasting. Chinese demand for Germanys exports have helped drive the countrys recovery in 2010. However, overly accommodative fiscal and monetary stimuli in China have led to an overheating that could result in a sharp withdrawal in 2011. Even if China manages to avoid this scenario, we are projecting a slowdown in Chinese import levels towards the latter stages of 2010, as Beijing recognises the need to rebalance the economy towards domestic consumption.
