The German economy is on the verge of recovering the ground lost during the pandemic with a pickup in growth this quarter, according to the Bundesbank.

While the institution’s monthly report makes no mention of the floods that have devastated western parts of the country, a separate report by ING Groep N.V. says the impact to the country’s economy as a whole from the disaster is likely to be limited.
