Foreign Direct Investment Projects in Germany Have Fallen to Lowest Since 2009 - Tekedia

Foreign direct investment project announcements in Germany fell to their lowest level since 2009.

High energy prices, slow permitting, and administrative hurdles are hurting Germany’s appeal to multinational firms.

Rival markets in the U.S., India, and Southeast Asia are attracting more investment with faster growth or larger subsidies.

A continued slump in new FDI could slow industrial growth, job creation, and Germany’s competitiveness.
