Modest growth is better than a bursting bubble. Incidentally, the reason why Germany's economy is not growing faster is the decline of the US Dollar.
Yeah, that might hurt you guys a bit since we will tend to manufacture more over here because of it, and it makes your products expensive. The problem is though, your increases have only been increases at the 0% to 2% range for years, long before the slide of the US dollar.

If I had to guess, it is the fault of the ever climbing Euro as to your slow growth.
