Economic course of the federal government: Federal Association of German Industries warns against toxic energy policy

Der Präsident des Bundesverbands der Deutschen Industrie (BDI), Siegfried Russwurm, warnt vor dem wirtschaftlichen Kurs der deutschen Regierung, insbesondere im Bereich der Energiepolitik. Laut Russwurm schafft die Energiewende, also der Ausstieg aus Atomkraft und Kohle, einen Wettbewerbsnachteil für die deutsche Industrie im Vergleich zu anderen Industrienationen. Dies könnte langfristige Planungen und Investitionsentscheidungen der Unternehmen beeinträchtigen, was zu einem Verlust des Vertrauens in den Wirtschaftsstandort Deutschland führen könnte.

Forecast for market impact

The uncertain energy supply criticized by Russwurm and the possible increase in energy prices could lead to companies becoming hesitant to invest in Germany. Instead, they could shift their investments abroad where conditions are more favorable. This possible withdrawal of investments from Germany could have a negative impact on the country's economic development.

Analysis of the current economic situation

The German economy shrank by 0.3 percent last year, and no trend reversal is expected this year either. The German Economic Institute predicts a further decline in gross domestic product of 0.5 percent. Combined with Russwurm's criticism of the energy transition, this shows that Germany's economic development is already difficult and could deteriorate further if an unfavorable energy policy is adopted.
