Purchasing power analysis: Bremen and Bremerhaven are behind in Germany

According to a report from https://www.butenunbinnen.de/nachrichten/kaufkraft-bremen-bremerhaven-bundesvergleich-umzu-100.html,

The German Economic Institute conducted an analysis of regional purchasing power in Germany and found that Bremen and Bremerhaven tend to lag behind in Germany. The average citizen of Bremen has an average of just over 23,000 euros available per year, which is around five percent below the national average. Things look even worse in Bremerhaven, where the average population is more than 15 percent below the national average, with a disposable amount of around 20,600 euros.

This analysis shows that purchasing power tends to be lower in large cities than in rural areas. In the Bremen area, cities such as Delmenhorst and Oldenburg are also below average in terms of purchasing power, while the districts of Cuxhaven, Rotenburg (Wümme), Osterholz, Wesermarsch, Verden, Oldenburg and Diepholz are above the national average.

Nationwide, people in Gelsenkirchen have the least money at their disposal, while in the Starnberg district near Munich, people have an average of almost 33,000 euros at their disposal.

These data show that there are significant differences in regional purchasing power. These differences can impact the local economy and financial industry. In areas with low purchasing power, demand for certain products and services may be lower, while in areas with higher purchasing power, greater prosperity and economic activity can be expected. Companies and financial institutions must take these regional differences into account to adapt their market strategies and meet the needs of consumers in different regions.
