German unification - now for the bitter fruits

Article Abstract:

The reunification of Germany will have to be financed through tax increases. Germany will also need financial assistance from foreign investors and businesses to finance the reunification. Some industries, such as the construction industry, are showing the signs of an economic recession, and exports have also decreased, partly because of the recession in the US and the UK. Two methods of improving the economy, government projects to increase demand and supply and tax reductions to increase demand and investment, have been successful in the past, but these methods also will increase government indebtedness.
