Quote:
Germany must increase its investment to improve competitiveness - but not at the expense of higher debt, finance minister Wolfgang Schaeuble has said.
His comments, in a newspaper interview on Sunday, follow a raft of economic evidence that shows Europe's most important economy is slowing down.

It'll be interesting to see how keen the Germans are to share in the European austerity, unemployment etc. they've managed to avoid for so long. I can't see anything in Europe changing very much until the Germans start feeling the pain.
