Econ Adviser Warns Against Too Much Optimism . BERLIN (Dow Jones)--The chairman of the council of economic advisers to the German government, Bert Ruerup, warned against too much optimism in terms of this year's economic growth projections, reports Financial Times Deutschland in a pre-release of Wednesday's edition. "To me it's unclear where these optimists who project 2% or more (economic) growth for this year" get their confidence, Ruerup told FTD. In late April, the German government raised its 2006 growth forecast for Europe's largest economy due to strong exports and recovering domestic demand to 1.6%, up from the 1.4% forecast made in January. But some experts have projected growth of 2% or more in 2006.
