Economic statistics and activity

Gross national income: 3.678 trillion PPP dollars (2013) World Bank
Gross domestic product: 3.73 trillion USD (2013)

Population growth rate: -0.18% (2014 est.)

Definition: The average annual percent change in the population, resulting
from a surplus (or deficit) of births over deaths and the balance of migrants
entering and leaving a country. The rate may be positive or negative. The
growth rate is a factor in determining how great a burden would be imposed
on a country by the changing needs of its people for infrastructure (e.g.,
schools, hospitals, housing, roads), resources (e.g., food, water, electricity),
and jobs. Rapid population growth can be seen as threatening by
neighboring countries.
Personal income per capita

GDP per capita (current US$)

GDP per capita is gross domestic product divided by midyear population. GDP is the sum of gross
value added by all resident producers in the economy plus any product taxes and minus any subsidies
not included in the value of the products. It is calculated without making deductions for depreciation of
fabricated assets or for depletion and degradation of natural resources. Data are in current U.S.
dollars.

Germany's wealth distribution most unequal in euro zone: study

Private wealth is more unevenly distributed in Germany, Europe's largest economy
and paymaster, than in any other euro zone state, a study showed on Wednesday.

While the richest one percent of people in Germany have personal

wealth of at least 800,000 euros ($1.09 million), over a quarter of adults

have either no wealth or negative wealth because of debt, the study by

Germany's DIW think tank showed.
"Nowhere in the euro zone is wealth so unequally distributed as it is in
Germany," DIW Research Associate Markus Grabka said in a statement.
According to the study, Germany's Gini coefficient, a measure of income
inequality, was 0.78 in 2012. That compared with 0.68 in France, 0.61 in
Italy and 0.45 in Slovakia. A score of 0 indicates minimal inequality and
1.0 maximal inequality.
Wealth disparity between the former East and West Germany persists
more than two decades after reunification, the study showed. Adults in
west Germany have assets worth 94,000 euros on average while their
counterparts in the former Communist East have just over 41,000 euros
in private wealth on average.
Germans have total net assets worth 6.3 trillion euros, with land and real
estate accounting for 5.1 trillion euros, and the average German adult
has net assets worth around 83,000 euros, according to DIW.
In the study, private wealth includes owned real estate, financial assets,
valuables and debt. Home ownership rates in Germany have long been
among the lowest in Europe.
Last year a study published by the European Central Bank showed
households in many peripheral euro zone countries are on average
wealthier than those in the bloc's core. ($1 = 0.7317 euros)
