BERLIN (Reuters) - The German economy continues to recover but with only limited dynamism, the economy ministry said on Thursday, adding there were however signs it was gradually gaining momentum and the weaker euro and oil prices should provide a medium-term boost.

"The recovery of the German economy is, for the time being, only progressing hesitantly," the ministry said in a statement.
