East German companies: Doubts about the economic turnaround! What now?

The economic situation in East Germany is currently characterized by doubts, especially among small and medium-sized companies. More and more companies are expressing concerns about political promises about the economic turnaround. These challenges are perceived by entrepreneurs as a kind of reality in which the federal government's measures often do not provide sufficient support.

In a survey carried out by the management consultancy *KPMG*, 70 percent of East German entrepreneurs stated that they did not consider the draft for the economic realignment to be accurate. This skepticism must be seen against the backdrop of past economic initiatives that often did not produce the hoped-for results. The current uncertainty is causing many companies to postpone their investment plans.

Current challenges for companies

The situation is viewed as particularly critical by business representatives themselves. It was found that innovative approaches and technological investments are often hindered by bureaucratic hurdles and inadequate infrastructure. The entrepreneurs in East Germany are therefore not just demanding lip service from politicians, but rather concrete strategies that actually work and support their industry.

Topics such as digitalization and sustainability are also given high priority. Many companies feel abandoned in these areas and, given the rapid developments, urgently need support in the form of funding programs and targeted training.

The federal government's view

Although it is emphasized at the political level that the economic turnaround in the East is a top priority, the reality is different for many companies. Surveys show that the measures are often far removed from the companies' actual needs. The West German federal states seem to be given preferential treatment by politicians in many matters, which further increases the concerns in the East German states.

All in all, it can be said that the skepticism of East German entrepreneurs about economic renewal is not unfounded. However, if these challenges are addressed, the economic diversity in the region could make a decisive contribution to the stability of the overall economy. Ultimately, dialogue between politics and the industry is essential in order to develop solutions together.
