A report out this week has shown that a large divide between the new German states and the rest of the nation still exists, 16 years after reunification.
The annual report, produced as part of Germany's "Day of Unity" celebrations next week, was meant to show how far the united Germany has come. Instead, the report shows that despite 250 billion Euros of investment for the East, unemployment remains high and economic growth is almost non-existant.
Wolfgang Tiefensee (SPD), the Federal Minister for Transport, Building and Urban Development, stated that it will take another 15 to 20 years before the former East German states develop their own economic momentum. al
