24. Germany's economy has slowed dramatically since that country introduced negative interest rates.

So it is happening to the once strongest economy in Europe. Actually, all of Europe is stalled, the UCB also introduced negative interest rates relatively recently (about 1.5 years ago), initially they boosted growth, but now economies across the EU are stalling and headed toward a recession like in Germany. Merkel's party recently lost support to an ultra-rightist party in a recent election in a part of Germany, the reason was uncomfort about the economy (I am sure racism was in the mix, but why should racists use racism when the other side inflicts a wound on itself).
