Apart from seizing the advantage of home ground to win the championship, Germany also hosted this year's Euro, which also helped boost the economy. According to the forecast of the German Retailers Association, the Euro will bring an additional 3.8 billion euros (about HK$31.8 billion) in retail spending to Germany.
Last year, Germany's GDP fell by 0.3%, the worst among the world's major economies. The government has high hopes of hosting European countries to boost consumption and boost the economy. The German Retailers Association conducted an opinion poll last month, which showed that most people spent between 101 euros and 200 euros extra on the games they were willing to host, with the most inclined to buy food and beverages, followed by sporting goods and electronics.
In addition, this year's Europe was held in 10 cities, a total of 2.7 million tickets, which can attract a large number of tourists to Germany. Authorities expect a record tourism revenue this year, which will make an important contribution to the German economy.
