Merkel Said to Say She Sees German Yields Rising as Crisis Ebbs

Chancellor Angela Merkel told lawmakers that she expects German borrowing costs to rise as the debt crisis ebbs and the country’s status as a haven wanes, according to two party officials who took part in the meeting.

Merkel made her comments to lawmakers of her Christian Democratic Union at a regular meeting in parliament in Berlin today, according to the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the briefing was private.
