Berlin urges Europe to persevere in settings, despite improving its forecasts

Minimally Berlin today revised upward its macroeconomic forecasts for this year, but avoided triumphalism, and stressed the priority continue settings in Germany, the last bastion of growth in Europe, and in countries in crisis.
German Economy Minister Philipp Rösler said the government estimated that gross domestic product (GDP) in Europe's largest economy will advance by 0.5% compared to 0.4% forecast last fall, a good thing that, in his view, should not alter the "road map" of austerity.
"I worry a lot and I can only warn our members about the danger of smoothing the path of fiscal consolidation," Rösler said in reference to the recent demands from within and outside the European Union (EU), for the continent to stop consolidating slightly from side to promote growth.
The last call for attention against European austerity occurred last weekend, when the G20 said that the priority in the old continent, whose crisis hampers the overall situation should be growth.
Rösler's view, the commitment to reduce the deficit and debt, which mainly Germany has encouraged in the continent through the fiscal pact, "the right way" and who want to slow down the time to give a break to the economies of south are "in error".
He recalled that in 2012 the Executive Chancellor Angela Merkel won the "zero deficit" in public accounts, four years earlier than was required by law.
Economy Minister further argued that the EU is "more stable than a year ago" and pointed to the drop in the risk premium-the spread between the interest of the national debt and the German ten years in the countries with financial aid programs.
"The markets recognize our progress," he added Rösler, who is also president of the German Liberal Party (FDP), junior partner in the coalition government.
Consolidation is the "first priority," he said, while acknowledging the sacrifices that is assuming your application.
"Of course we know that's hard for people, for businesses and governments have to meet certain steps to stay on the path of fiscal consolidation, but such harsh measures are necessary," he said.
In the German case, Rösler recognized that fiscal adjustment has required some sensitive items such as infrastructure.
"We can not afford not to pursue consolidation when our partners are doing in a difficult situation," said the Minister of Economy, recognizing the efforts of countries in crisis.
Regarding updating macroeconomic forecasts, Rösler said that Germany has "every reason to look optimistically to the future", since the moderate growth forecast for this year followed by a rebound in GDP of 1.5% the next.
In addition, the German government expects the percentage of working population continue to rise in these two years, beating the maximum current, and that the unemployment rate will remain stable this year and fall in 2014, at historic lows.
The latest growth forecasts Bundesbank (German central bank) and the main German economic research institutes are more optimistic than those presented today by the Government, which has opted for the "moderation".
Meanwhile, about half of the countries of the eurozone will close this year in recession, so the whole monetary union in aggregate will shrink this year despite the positive contribution of the greater economy.
