German economy in danger: appeal to politicians

German economy in danger: appeal to politicians

The German economy is in a deep crisis, characterized by problems such as the energy transition, reductions in bureaucracy and a shortage of skilled workers. The latest calls from entrepreneurs warn of the threat of deindustrialization because the federal government is not acting decisively enough to strengthen Germany as a business location. The current situation is causing many companies to decide against investing in Germany, which is seen as threatening symptoms of deindustrialization.

Entrepreneur Daniel Hager warns of the long-term consequences of deindustrialization in industries such as chemicals, steel and automobiles. He emphasizes that it is becoming increasingly difficult to invest in Germany, which is leading to companies leaving the country. The demands of Gesamtmetall and IG Metall include faster infrastructure expansion, more efficient approval procedures and a long-term raw materials strategy in order to maintain Germany as an industrial location.

The most pressing concern for the German economy at the moment is the high cost of energy, especially after the stoppage of Russian oil and gas deliveries. Politicians must find ways to reduce energy costs and bind companies to Germany in the long term. Criticism of the current government relates to the lack of a clear strategy, especially when it comes to cheap energy supplies.

Despite calls to strengthen Germany as an industrial location and reduce energy costs, Daniel Hager does not expect any changes under the current government. He hopes for a new government that is more responsive to the needs of the economy. The discrepancies in politics and the lack of unity mean that many entrepreneurs are skeptical about the future.
