German economy to slow down in second quarter: Bundesbank

The German economy, Europe's biggest, will likely slow down in the second quarter after showing steady growth in the year's first three months, the Bundesbank central bank said Monday.

"The German economy started 2016 with a lot of momentum," it said in its latest monthly report. However "a decline in the pace of economic growth looks to be on the horizon for the second quarter."

The Bundesbank recalled that the German economy had seen "a solid rate of expansion" in the second half of 2015 with growth in the third and fourth quarters of about 0.3 percent, which it said "largely matched its potential".

The bank forecast first-quarter growth would match or slightly surpass that rate.
