complete stagnation ... Explanation: I would say "Germany facing complete stagnation" and "With regard to our newsletter, you will definitely not be held back/left behind". I'm not very sure about the second sentence. |

| Reference: some ideas with brakes Reference information: As Vollbremsung and ausbremsen appear 2 paragraphs apart I dont really see the need to preserve the image - and dont really think its possible anyway! Depends to some extent on the tone/register of the text, I like Philgoddards suggestion and the idea of stagnation often suits the German economy. You could also play with: The brakes are on... German economy grinds to a halt... (or screeching to a halt - but maybe a bit dramatic!) etc. (one possibility for the 2nd sentence: (rest assured that) our newsletter will continue to keep you up to speed..) for example: "Eurozone and world financial crisis 'puts brakes on the economy' Economic growth is shuddering to a halt because of the weakening world economy and the prospect of a severe financial crisis in the eurozone, two leading think tanks warn today. A forecast from the Centre for Economic and Business Research says the UK economy is at a virtual standstill, with growth likely to reach just 0.6 per cent in 2011."

(more of the same but shows that its used in the same way as the German with economy as the one applying the brakes) Example sentence(s):
