German Business and Economy

The unified German economy is now the third most productive in the world. The bulk of this achievement was in the West, where it is still referred to as the 'Wirtschaftswunder' (economic miracle).

The Western economy is essentially industrial, with large chemical and car manufacturing plants, mechanical, electrical and electronic engineering, and rapidly growing advanced technology and service sectors in computing, biotechnology, information processing and media.

The Eastern economy is far behind the West. It became especially visible after the reunification. However, after initial difficulties, and much pessimistic forecasting, the Eastern economy has been absorbed fairly painlessly into the Western.
