Berlin does not practice " social dumping

Germany is currently blamed for its current account surplus . These criticisms are unjustified . Indeed, the performance of German exports is not based on state intervention . The German current account surplus is rather the result of free competition in global markets .
According to forecasts by the European Commission, the current account is expected to record a surplus this year of 7% of gross domestic product ( GDP) , before returning to 6.4% in 2014 and 2015.

It is true that international trade Germany is doing well today , but we must also remember that the current account balance was still negative there is little , especially during the years following reunification.
