Billions of investments: 61 companies rely on Germany's future!

With an ambitious project, 61 companies aim to make investments of up to impressive 631 billion euros in Germany by 2028. This emerges from the "Made for Germany" initiative, which was presented today as part of an investment summit in the Chancellery. This significant message Die Zeit reports that to the already announced 300 billion euros from 30 companies, which significantly grows.

At the meeting in the Chancellery, in which Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Vice Chancellor Lars Klingbeil and Minister of Economic Affairs Katherina Reiche took part, the crucial point was discussed: the confidence of companies in Germany as an investment location. Merz emphasized that this trust in economic growth and future viability was crucial. With companies such as Allianz, Airbus, Volkswagen and also large US companies such as Nvidia and Blackstone, top-class actors are represented who support the initiative.

The framework conditions for investments

But not everything runs round for German companies: the economy faces challenges, especially when it comes to increasing investments. Finance Minister Klingbeil plans an investment offensive in the amount of up to 110 billion euros. However, it is also feared that the meeting could not be more than a PR measure. The chief economist of Ing Germany, Carsten Brzeski, emphasizes that despite all the declarations of intent, the competition from China is a serious challenge.

The companies are already calling for changes to improve investment conditions, including reducing electricity tax and less bureaucracy. In the case of such economic decisions, the middle of society is required, since 87% of gross investment in Germany comes from private companies. This underlines the growing importance that the private economy is for the overall economy, as well as Destatis 指出.

A look into the future

The many investment commitments and the associated projects could apparently revolutionize the image of the German economy. However, it remains to be seen whether there are concrete acts from these announcements. In this context, it is important not to lose sight of the legal framework and the framework conditions. Improved depreciation conditions and a gradual reduction in corporation tax from 2028 have already been discussed to promote investments.

The "Made for Germany" initiative is more than just a catchphrase; It could be the key to strengthening Germany as an attractive investment location, provided that the announced measures are actually implemented. The period until 2028 will show whether the companies can also follow in addition to the words.
