Claim 1: “"Germany in general is one of the most affected markets in West Europe after France but also one of the few countries that may expect growth of indicators in 2025," Allianz Trade said.”

SINGLE SOURCE

The web search results contain information about Allianz Trade's analysis of Germany's market position relative to other countries, suggesting it is one of the most affected but also expected to show growth. However, the specific phrasing ('after France but also one of the few countries that may expect growth of indicators in 2025') is not independently corroborated by multiple sources, making it single-source based on the provided evidence set.
