This is good news not only for Germany, but also for Europe as a whole, as the business climate for German manufacturers reflects that in the rest of Europe – their main export market. In 2006, the euro-zone economies may have grown by 2.7% on average, and should grow by 2.2% in 2007.
这不仅是对德国的一个好消息，同时也是对全欧洲。德国制造业的经济气候也反映着欧洲的其他地方――德国主要出口市场的情况。2006年，欧元区经济的增长率在平均2.7％的水平，2007年将会是2.2％。
