The German economy remained strong in the first quarter of this year.
Germany's gross domestic product grew by 1.5 percent compared to the last quarter of 2007. That's twice the rate forecast by economists and the fastest in 12 years. The Federal Statistics Office said first quarter growth was driven by both exports and domestic consumer spending. The office also said that the inflation rate in April slowed down to 2.4 percent compared to the same month last year. In March, inflation exceeded three percent.
