Germany - The Investor's Darling?

Compared to the vast majority of European countries, Germany's economy has boasted a strong performance over the past two to three years, both on an economic level and on a hotel performance level. Economic output has been showing above-average growth, despite the ongoing Eurozone debt crisis, which has led to a fundamental change in Germany's economic positioning within Europe over the past ten years. While the Federal Republic is today regarded as a supporting pillar and engine of growth for the Eurozone, it was still characterised as the 'sick man of Europe' a few years ago, owing to its low macroeconomic growth, which was considered to be a risk to those countries in the Eurozone.
