The German economy was able to withstand the financial crisis much better than most of its European partners. As a result it now ranks first in Europe in terms of nominal GDP and exports. It is also the only European country with a stable triple-A credit rating, which is impressive.

The retail market in Germany is dominated by low price discounters and traditional supermarket corporations. The most important banners there are Edeka, Rewe, Lidl and Kaufland (Schwarz Gruppe), Aldi and Metro Cash & Carry and Media Markt– Saturn( Metro Group).
