It recovered in 2010 to grow by 4.2% and 3.0% in 2011. However it was hit by the Euro crisis in 2012 and shrank 0.7%. Unemployment in 2012 was 5.5% and inflation was running at 2.1%.
Over the last 20 years, the government has spent USD 2 trillion on the rehabilitation of East Germany. However, there remains a marked economic divide between the east and the west of the country.
Germany has a very small agricultural sector that provides only 0.8% of GDP with industry providing 28% and services 78.2%. Key exports are machinery, vehicles, chemicals, metal manufacturing, foodstuffs and textiles.

Production is split between the following sectors: automotive and industrial electronics (64.7%), data processing 25%, telecoms 8.0%, and consumer electronics 2.3%.
Germany dominates the sector in Europe, and it is the world’s second only behind Japan. Prospects for the industry look good, with Germany is seen as the most attractive country for investment in Europe by 35% of companies, with Poland a long way behind with 10%.
Chemicals
Germany has the largest chemical company in the world – BASF. Other large companies include, Hoechst, Bayer and Lanxess. In 2010, it provided 25% of all European sales of EUR 180 billion.
