Growth figures from a poor country will always appear greater than a rich country. ie Germany is still doing better than the UK.

Yes the German economy is bigger, but it is not necessarily that much stronger. What's killing us is the lack of in house energy platform - most of ours is imported US fracking gas - and a government that is far too cautious in its medium to long term planning.

A economic forecast like a weather forecast is an estimation of the future.

IMF - oops we got it wrong
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...sion-year.html
'Today's IMF report shows a big upgrade to the UK's growth forecast and credits our action to restore stability and tame inflation,' he said.
'It praises our childcare reforms, the Windsor Framework and business investment incentives.
'If we stick to the plan, the IMF confirm our long-term growth prospects are stronger than in Germany, France and Italy – but the job is not done yet.'
Tories have often mocked the IMF's downbeat views of Britain's prospects.
The Bank of England has also been forced to revise its grim outlook for the UK economy in recent weeks.
The IMF economists made no change to the growth forecast of 1 per cent for next year.
And Britain is no longer expected to be the worst performer in the G7 this year, with growth slated to be better than Germany.
The UK had the fastest growth in the G7 in both 2021 and 2022.
