Expert warns: Company locations in Germany are getting historically bad grades!

According to a report by Bild.de, the location conditions for companies in Germany have deteriorated drastically in recent years. According to a current location survey by the DIHK, company representatives rate economic policy and the industrial location overall as worse than ever before. The grade of 4.8 they awarded is a historic low and significantly worse than in previous years. The bureaucratic requirements, the high energy prices, the inefficiency of authorities and the long planning and approval procedures are particularly criticized. This has led to the average of the location factors falling to 4.0, which sends an alarming signal to politicians.

As a financial professional, it is important to recognize that these poor reviews can have a direct impact on the market and the financial industry. Companies struggling with difficult conditions may scale back investments or even consider moving production abroad. This could lead to a decline in the competitiveness of the German economy and have long-term financial consequences.

It is important that the government takes the criticism seriously and takes concrete measures to improve the site conditions. This is the only way Germany can maintain its attractiveness as a business location and continue to guarantee a strong financial sector.
