WSJ:German Econ Min: Euro Zone Crisis Main Risk To 2012 Econ Forecast
BERLIN (Dow Jones)--The further development of the euro-zone's debt crisis is the main risk factor to the underlying assumptions of the German government's annual economic forecasts, German Economics Minister Philipp Roesler said Wednesday.
"The euro zone crisis remains the main risk," Roesler told reporters during a news conference in Berlin.
Roesler said he was relaxed about the recent downgrade by Standard & Poor's of European sovereign debt and the euro-zone's bailout fund, the European Financial Stability Facility.
