Germany Stock Market
Posted by Noman Manzoor | Posted in
After World War II, Germany was separated into the western Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) and the eastern German Democratic Republic (GDR). While FRG pursued Western strategies, the GDR was aligned with the USSR and the Warsaw Pact. FRG and GDR united when the Cold War ended in 1990, and efforts have since been made to increase Eastern productivity and wages. In 1999, Germany, the country with the largest European economy and population, implemented the euro. Lately, Germany has been experiencing a decline in its unemployment rate; this happens at a time when, the economic demand is increasing, German enterprises want to fill more open positions.
