Global production of industrial products is modest as is the outlook for German trade, the report warned.

“As the year progresses, however, inflation-dampening factors such as the moderate price trend at upstream economic levels, the after-effects of restrictive monetary policy and lower wage settlements are likely to gain the upper hand,” it added.
