Germany suffers deepest recession in decade
The German economy fell by 0.5 percent in second quarter after a 0.4 percent in the first quarter, the largest back-to-back declines since 1996.
Recessions in the European Union and United States together with the financial debacle will likely weigh down on the world economy causing a downward spiral that could take years to bottom out.
The Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development said that it expects economies among its 30 member countries to shrink by about 0.3 percent in 2009.
