Germany in permanent crisis: companies are struggling, jobs are disappearing!
In Germany everything seems to be getting a little out of hand at the moment. The political disputes in the government, led by Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU), are attracting increasing attention. Many citizens are wondering what to do next in a country that is in a constant state of crisis. This describes it Picture the political landscape as a stage for ineffective debates on secondary issues. Meanwhile, there are internal conflicts, especially within the SPD, where members are protesting against the citizen's benefit reform.
“Why are German companies sinking despite all their efforts?” many people ask themselves. The answer may lie in a combination of factors. The economy continues to shrink, and according to a current economic survey by the German Economic Institute, 36 percent of companies are planning to cut jobs. That's almost one in three companies, while only 18 percent are considering hiring new employees. Jürgen Geißinger, an entrepreneur, highlights the high energy and wage costs as well as bureaucracy as serious obstacles.
Economy under pressure
The situation of the German economy is anything but rosy. A combination of stagnant exports and drastically increasing imports - which are a whopping 30 percent higher - have made the situation even worse. German car manufacturers, which are traditionally among the economic heavyweights, are reporting dramatic drops in profits. Porsche, for example, reports a decline of 70 percent, while Mercedes and Volkswagen are no less affected.
In addition, Deutsche Bank warns of a possible China shock, which could be triggered by increasing import dependence from China. Management consultant Roland Berger sums up the situation: “We are slipping into a state economy.” The signaling effect of these developments should not be underestimated: the number of unemployed is 120,000 higher than in the previous year, which pushes the total figure just below the 3 million mark.
Social impact
But it is not just economic indicators that are criticized, but also social divisions. Psychotherapist Wolfgang Krüger explains that political disunity is one of the factors that leads to insecurity among the population. There are fears of a social divide, and Krüger warns that citizens will have to prepare for falling living standards.
A so-called “relief cabinet” will meet this Wednesday to deal with reducing bureaucracy and other relief measures. It remains to be seen whether these measures will be enough to regain the public's trust and put the economy on the right track.
Health concerns
Although it is a serious illness, there are several prevention methods that everyone should incorporate into their daily routine. From efficient handwashing to following good hygiene practices to vaccinations, the key to preventing meningitis is being proactive.
While Germany is confronted with its numerous challenges, it remains to be hoped that those responsible in politics and business will take the right steps to sustainably address both social and economic problems.
