Intersection of Soccer and Economic Trends - Institute for Economic Research states that Economic and Monetary Union is not expected to produce a significant impact on the economy.
The upcoming European Football Championship is predicted to result in increased sales for hotels and guest houses in Germany, but the Institute for Economic Research (Ifo) anticipates minimal impact on the country's overall economy.
A statement by Munich economists suggests that the expenditure of foreign football enthusiasts could potentially boost Germany's economic output in the second quarter by 0.1% or one billion Euros.
Once the tournament is over, service exports are likely to return to their previous levels, as the Ifo Institute's researcher, Gerome Wolf, forecasts. "Service exports" refer to the services provided by Germans to foreigners, including accommodations and expenses incurred by visiting fans in the country.
Timo Wollmershaeuser, the head of Ifo's economic forecasts, explained that such events typically have a modest effect on the economy, with the exception of tourism. His comments align with previous experiences from the 2006 World Cup, suggesting a similar outcome.
