Economy loses 160 billion euros due to war in Ukraine
Putin's attack on Ukraine has caused significant costs for the German economy. According to calculations by the Federal Ministry of Economics and the Hans Böckler Foundation, the loss of prosperity amounts to around 160 billion euros. Before the war, annual economic growth was expected to be 3.0 percent, but in fact it was only 0.7 percent. The effects of the war and the ongoing energy crisis are having a lasting impact on the economy and leading to weak growth.
The federal government is under pressure to take measures to cushion the negative effects of the Ukraine conflict on the domestic economy. Criticism is primarily directed at austerity policies and budget cuts, which could worsen the situation. It is emphasized that Germany is particularly badly affected by the consequences of the war compared to other European countries such as Sweden or Italy. The strong industrial focus and late intervention in the energy market contribute to this vulnerability.
Experts warn of further economic damage caused by the war in Ukraine. A study by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy predicts a loss of around $120 billion for the German economy. Neighboring countries and the European Union as a whole are also not safe from significant losses as a result of the Russian attack on Ukraine. The overall economy is suffering from the effects of this conflict, and the consequences will extend until 2026. The urgency of effective measures to stabilize the economy is evident as the German population grapples with the consequences of Putin's stranglehold on Ukraine.
