如果同五十年代的成就相比,1964年不是西德經济上最出色的一年,但在六十年代改变的情况下,那是所能設想的最令人滿意的年头了。在年初,随着出口盈余的不断增加,国內对生产資料的需要也增加了。专供国防預算用的金額由于軍事和技术方面的原因而沒有花掉。各工会惟恐在1965年普选年的物价上涨中担負責任,提出的增加工資的要求也是适可而止。随着供求关系有理想的調整,并且展望着1965年出現更好的年景,經济情况保持順利。 If 1964 was not the most economically brilliant year in West Germany compared with the achievements of the 1950s, it was the most satisfactory year to be conceived in the sixties. At the beginning of the year, as the export surplus kept increasing, the domestic demand for means of production also increased. The amount devoted to the defense budget has not been spent on military and technical grounds. Fear of the trade unions in the general election year 1965 prices rise in the responsibility, the proposed wage increase is also a go-go. With the ideal adjustment of supply and demand, and looking forward to a better year in 1965, the economy kept on going smoothly.
