Germany had weathered the rise of the crisis in Europe. Moreover, its robust growth at the start of the year (0.5% quarterly rate) was all that prevented the euro zone into recession despite a third of the Seventeen themselves entwined two or more quarters of GDP in setback. But the statistics published in recent days confirm that the German economy takes the base, which starts to feel the effects of lack of activity in much of Europe, gripped by the adjustments and financial stress. The slowdown in Germany and the addition of France to the club of the red, achieve in the euro zone to another relapse, just months after they conceded at the end of 2011.
The crop statistics of the German economy in recent days confirmed that the activity in the second quarter was not as strong as the beginning of the year. The Federal Statistics Office said Wednesday that exports fell more than expected: in June, Germany exported 1.5% less than in May, when experts predicted a decrease of 1.3%. The decline in sales to the rest of the euro area accounts for the fall. However, in the annual comparison, exports still grew by 7.4% and German companies hope that 2012 will end with a 4% increase over last year.
Analysts believe that domestic demand would partly offset the fall in exports
More significantly, the industrial production index, also known on Wednesday, which analysts have interpreted as a preview of the evolution of GDP. In June, German industrial production was 0.9% lower than in May, also a figure worse than expected. In the annual comparison back into negative territory (-0.3%), something not seen since the Great Recession of 2009. The Ministry of Economy related this data to the decline in orders in the industry, by 1.7% compared with May, who met on Tuesday.
In the Ministry of Economy emphasized that "no one can recognize a trend change" in the medium term. Analysts believe that domestic demand would partly offset the decline in exports. But the Bundesbank now estimates that German consumption will only grow by 0.6% in 2012, instead of the 1% who had planned before.
While no one expects Germany falls into recession of its neighbors, many financial institutions are more pessimistic than the government, which predicts an increase of 0.7% for the entire year. The most common estimate is that German GDP would have grown by 0.2% in the second quarter, far below the 0.5% recorded at the start of the year. And some like the IFO institute, which develops an index of business confidence in free fall since the start of the year, opt for stagnation.
In the case of the second economy in the euro area, France, the prospects are even worse
Next week, Eurostat, the Statistical Office in Brussels, published the first data on the evolution of GDP in the second quarter. If data are expected to reflect a weaker growth of the European locomotive in the case of the second economy in the euro area, France, the prospects are even worse.
The French economy dodged the red even in the last quarter of 2011, when even Germany faltered. But according to forecasts published Wednesday by the Bank of France, skirting recession in the remainder of the year.
The central bank in its monthly survey estimates that GDP in the second eurozone economy will decrease by 0.1% in the third quarter (June to September), burdened by the collapse of the automobile and textile industry. The same body has already announced expected economic contraction of 0.1% for the second quarter. If confirmed, the country would go well in recession for first time since late 2009.

The Bank of France bases its estimate on the deteriorating business climate in industry and in services. Moreover, France can not rely on foreign trade to improve their prospects. The trade deficit, which had fallen in May, has risen again in June to nearly 6,000 million euros, also announced Wednesday the Customs Service.
The Bank of France estimates vary slightly from the National Institute of Statistics in late June that provided for a minimum recovery. In any case, the Bank of France forecast warns of degradation of the French economy, which gets more complicated in budget 2013.
At worse prognosis for Germany and France (and Holland, with industrial production also down) joins the data are already ahead of some of the economies under pressure from the markets. According to their statistical institutes, the decrease of GDP in Italy (the third largest economy of the euro) and Spain (fourth) between April and June will be very similar to first quarter (-0.7% and -0.4% respectively .) And Belgium (the sixth largest economy of the euro) also falls, down 0.6%.
