The paper covers two speeches on the unification of Germany. Dr. Hans Tietmeyer gave a presentation at the Group of Thirty's 1990 International Banking seminar on " The Economic Integration of Germany: Problems and Prospects." The reports compares the size and levels of the two economies, then discusses harmonization of the institutional systems, introduction of a common currency, and adjustment in the real economy. Dr. Wilfried Guth presented his paper "German Unification and the Broader European Context," at the G30's 28th Plenary session in the fall of 1990. The report looks at the pre-unification economic level and discusses the effects of German unification on European economic integration.
