BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany on Wednesday defended its wide current account surplus from criticism that it contributes to imbalances in the global economy, saying the government was trying to reverse the trend by promoting higher wages and stronger consumption.
Economy Minister Brigitte Zypries said oil prices and Germany's ageing population of savers limit the government's ability to narrow the current account surplus, which was the largest in the world last year.
