(ANSA-AFP) - FRANKFURT, JAN 30 - Germany's economy
unexpectedly shrank at the end of 2022 due to the fallout from
the war in Ukraine, official data showed Monday, even as hopes
grow an energy crisis is easing. Europe's top economy contracted
0.2 percent in the October to December period compared to the
previous quarter, according to preliminary figures from
statistics authority Destatis. Analysts from financial data firm
FactSet had been expecting zero growth. For the whole of 2022,
the German economy grew 1.8 percent, said Destatis, revising
down an earlier figure of 1.9 percent. (ANSA-AFP).
