BERLIN, Jan 15 (Reuters) - Germany can expect a substantial economic recovery only when there is certainty regarding the economic, financial, and geopolitical situation, as stated by the Ministry of Economy in its monthly report on Wednesday, subsequent to the annual data that displayed a subdued global production of industrial goods and a less optimistic perspective for German trade. The report also cautioned that "as the year advances, factors that dampen inflation, like the restrained price tendencies in upstream economic sectors, the repercussions of tight monetary policies, and decreased wage negotiations, are expected to take precedence."
