‘Sick Man of Europe’

The struggling German economy could once again be called the ‘Sick Man of Europe’ if structural issues are not addressed immediately. The warning has been issued by Deutsche Bank CEO Christian Sewing. European countries are often given this label when they experience economic difficulties, social unrest, or impoverishment. Germany received this notorious status in the late 1990s, and was described this way into the early 2000s.
