MUNICH, Sept 15 (Reuters) - The collapse of U.S. investment bank Lehman Brothers is part of a "serious global financial crisis" that could have a harmful impact on Germany, Economy Minister Michael Glos said on Monday.
"The news from the United States is not good," Glos said during a visit to a defence contractor in Munich.
"We are worried about the effects on our economy if global growth slows further," he said. "We hope that we don't see a crisis which pushes the global economy to the brink of ruin."
Glos said that German banks were in better shape than their U.S. rivals.
