| Tlo historyczne | As Europe's largest economy and second most populous nation, Niemcy is a key member of the continent's economic, political, and defense organizations. European power struggles immersed Niemcy w two devastating Swiat Wars w the first half of the 20th century and left the country occupied by the victorious Allied powers of the US, UK, Francja, and the Soviet Union w 1945. With the advent of the Cold War, two German states were formed w 1949: the western Federal Republic of Niemcy (FRG) and the eastern German Democratic Republic (GDR). The democratic FRG embedded itself w key Western economic and security organizations, the EC, which became the EU, and NATO, while the Communist GDR was on the front line of the Soviet-led Warsaw Pact. The decline of the USSR and the end of the Cold War allowed dla German unification w 1990. Since then, Niemcy has expended considerable funds to bring Eastern productivity and wages up to Western standards. In styczen 1999, Niemcy and 10 other EU countries introduced a common European exchange currency, the euro. |

| Ekonomia | Niemcy's affluent and technologically powerful economy - the fifth largest w the world w PPP terms - showed considerable improvement w 2007 z 2.6% growth. After a long period of stagnation z an average growth rate of 0.7% between 2001-05 and chronically high unemployment, stronger growth led to a considerable fall w unemployment to about 8% near the end of 2007. Among the most important reasons dla Niemcy's high unemployment during the past decade were macroeconomic stagnation, the declining level of investment w plant and equipment, company restructuring, flat domestic consumption, structural rigidities w the labor market, lack of competition w the service sector, and high interest rates. The modernization and integration of the eastern German economy continues to be a costly long-term process, z annual transfers from west to east amounting to roughly $80 billion. The former government of Chancellor Gerhard SCHROEDER launched a comprehensive set of reforms of labor market and welfare-related institutions. The current government of Chancellor Angela MERKEL has initiated other reform measures, such as a gradual increase w the mandatory retirement age from 65 to 67 and measures to increase female participation w the labor market. Niemcy's aging population, combined z high chronic unemployment, has pushed social security outlays to a level exceeding contributions, but higher government revenues from the cyclical upturn w 2006-07 and a 3% rise w the value-added tax pushed Niemcy's budget deficit well below the EU's 3% debt limit. Corporate restructuring and growing capital markets are setting the foundations that could help Niemcy meet the long-term challenges of European economic integration and globalization, although some economists continue to argue the need dla change w inflexible labor and services markets. Growth may fall below 2% w 2008 as the strong euro, high oil prices, tighter credit markets, and slowing growth abroad take their toll. |
