BERLIN, Nov 14 (Reuters) - German Economy Minister Peter Altmaier said on Thursday that Europe’s largest economy had avoided a recession in the third quarter but warned that the economic development remained fragile.
“We do not have a technical recession, but the growth numbers are still too weak,” Economy Minister Peter Altmaier told ARD public television after the Federal Statistics Office reported a 0.1% economic expansion in the third quarter. (Reporting by Michael Nienaber Editing by Michelle Martin)
