Getting Germany back to growth is the top priority, finmin says

By Maria Martinez

BERLIN, July 3 (Reuters) - German government's top priority is to bring Europe's biggest economy back on a growth path, German Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil said on Thursday.

Speaking at a banking event, Klingbeil said it is important to invest, to carry out structural reforms and to consolidate the budget.

Germany failed to grow for the last two years and U.S. tariffs would deal a major blow for its export-oriented economy.
