The staggering $390 billion in western German assistance    that the eastern states have received since 1990 - 40 times the amount    in real terms of US Marshall Fund aid sent to West Germany after World    War II - is just beginning to have an impact on the eastern German    standard of living, which plummeted after unification. Assistance to    the east continues to run at roughly $100 billion annually. Although    the growth rate in the east was much greater than in the west in    1993-94, eastern GDP per capita nonetheless remains well below    preunification levels; it will take 10-15 years for the eastern states    to match western Germany's living standards. The economic recovery in    the east is led by the construction industries which account for    one-third of industrial output, with growth increasingly supported by    the service sectors and light manufacturing industries. Eastern    Germany's economy is changing from one anchored on manufacturing to a    more service-oriented economy. Western Germany, with three times the    per capita output of the eastern states, has an advanced market    economy and is a world leader in exports. The strong recovery in 1994    from recession began in the export sector and spread to the investment    and consumption sectors in response to falling interest rates. Western    Germany has a highly urbanized and skilled population that enjoys    excellent living standards, abundant leisure time, and comprehensive    social welfare benefits. It is relatively poor in natural resources,    coal being the most important mineral. Western Germany's world-class    companies manufacture technologically advanced goods. The region's    economy is mature: services and manufacturing account for the dominant    share of economic activities, and raw materials and semimanufactured    goods constitute a large portion of imports.       National product:    Germany: GDP - purchasing power parity - $1.3446 trillion (1994 est.)    western: GDP - purchasing power parity - $1.2363 trillion (1994 est.)    eastern: GDP - purchasing power parity - $108.3 billion (1994 est.)       National product real growth rate:    Germany: 2.9% (1994 est.)    western: 2.3% (1994 est.)    eastern: 9.2% (1994 est.)       National product per capita:    Germany: $16,580 (1994 est.)    western: $19,660 (1994 est.)    eastern: $5,950 (1994 est.)       Inflation rate (consumer prices):    western: 3% (1994)    eastern: 3.2% (1994 est.)       Unemployment rate:    western: 8.2% (December 1994)    eastern: 13.5% (December 1994)       Budget:    revenues: $690 billion    expenditures: $780 billion, including capital expenditures of $96.5    billion (1994)       Exports: $437 billion (f.o.b., 1994)    commodities: manufactures 89.3% (including machines and machine tools,    chemicals, motor vehicles, iron and steel products), agricultural    products 5.5%, raw materials 2.7%, fuels 1.3% (1993)    partners: EC 47.9% (France 11.7%, Netherlands 7.4%, Italy 7.5%, UK    7.7%, Belgium-Luxembourg 6.6%), EFTA 15.5%, US 7.7%, Eastern Europe    5.2%, OPEC 3.0% (1993)       Imports: $362 billion (f.o.b., 1994)    commodities: manufactures 75.1%, agricultural products 10.0%, fuels    8.3%, raw materials 5.0% (1993)    partners: EC 46.4% (France 11.3%, Netherlands 8.4%, Italy 8.1%, UK    6.0%, Belgium-Luxembourg 5.7%), EFTA 14.3%, US 7.3%, Japan 6.3%,    Eastern Europe 5.1%, OPEC 2.6% (1993)       External debt: $NA       Industrial production:    western: growth rate 2.8% (1994)    eastern: growth rate $NA       Electricity:    capacity: 115,430,000 kW    production: 493 billion kWh    consumption per capita: 5,683 kWh (1993)       Industries:    western: among world's largest and technologically advanced producers    of iron, steel, coal, cement, chemicals, machinery, vehicles, machine    tools, electronics;
