Federal Office For Migration And Refugees

The head of Germany's Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) told a German newspaper that he expected a maximum of 300,000 refugees to arrive in Germany this year.

Germany registered 964,574 new asylum seekers in the year's first 11 months, official figures showed today, as Europe's top economy appeared on track for a million arrivals in 2015.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives want to limit the financial incentives for refugees coming to the country as their numbers soar, a paper showed on Wednesday, underlining the strain the crisis is putting on Europe's largest economy.
