Economic risks are back in focus due to uncertainties about the global outlook stemming from developments in emerging markets but the German economy remains on an upward path, the Economy Ministry said on Thursday.

“The uncertainty about economic developments in China as well as other commodity producing emerging economies has brought risks more strongly back into view,” the ministry said in its September monthly report.

“Despite uncertainty about foreign trade linked to financial market turbulence in some emerging economies, and only a moderate growth rate in the global economy, economic developments in Germany remain on an upward path,” it added.
