The bad economic news is outpacing itself and some tend to see only black. No need. Because behind some bad news there is a good reason.
oh dear There are two pieces of economic news that should shake Germans to the core: For the first time in more than three decades, we are importing more than we are exporting. That scratches the self-image of a world champion exporter.
FOCUS-MONEY shows how investors can cleverly benefit from world trade with national and international agricultural stocks, agricultural ETFs.
And that’s not all: Only one German company – Linde – is still among the top 100 listed companies in the world. One is in this country apparently finally second league. suspended. Out of. Over. We have always suspected it.
But let’s not be persuaded. Exports have not declined recently, but have actually increased slightly. The fact that more could not be exported is simply due to the fact that our companies cannot deliver as usual. The reason: they cannot get the materials they need themselves.
On the other hand, imports have increased in value more significantly. That’s because material and energy costs go up, making things more expensive. Conclusion: When global trade falters, even a world champion exporter can stumble. He’ll get back on his feet quicker than others.
And the thing with the stock market darlings – that’s such a thing: The most valuable company in this list is the oil producer Saudi Aramco. This has nothing to do with sustainability and digitization. Who wants to be on a list like that?
No, Germany is a medium-sized company. And medium-sized companies don’t have to be on the stock exchange to be highly innovative and efficient, as the Boschs, Mieles and Würths of this republic show. Here lies the potential of our economy that no global ranking will ever understand. That’s more than a consolation. We can be proud of that.
