Holger Zschaepitz(@Schuldensuehner):Good Morning from Germany, where the AAA rating is becoming a growth bet. Rating agency Scope sees potential growth at just 0.8% vs 1.6% for AAA peers and debt rising from 63.5% of GDP in 2025 to ~83% by 2036. If growth slips to 0.4% and borrowing costs rise 50bp, debt nears 90%.
