  • Since 2017, the number of foreign investment projects announced in Germany has decreased by 51 percent.

  • In 2025, the total projects declined by 10 percent to 548, reaching the lowest count in over 15 years.

  • High taxes, costly energy, labor expenses, and bureaucracy are key factors hindering investment growth in Germany.

  • France and the UK, despite facing declines, have maintained better investment appeal and surpass Germany in attractiveness.
  • We will be left behind; other European locations are developing much better.
