The number of German firms closing their doors for good rose last year by as much as 16% on the year to 196,100, the Creditreform agency and the ZEW economic research institute reported on Wednesday.

Well, if one wanted a large amount then it might be as good a time as any to split up some of the big conglomerates into lots of tiny little chunks.
Most of german GDP are mid sized companies actually.
True
Germany is not coming back. The pension system, exodus of academics and high taxes on top of all of that will make it even worse in the near future.
Germany … exodus of academics
Germany is the second most important host country for international academics and researchers after the USA (that was in 2024, doubt the U.S. will be able to hold the pole position with the Florida man at the helm)
According to the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) … over 75,000 researchers from all over the world worked in Germany. In addition, 380,000 international students were enrolled at German universities - a new record.
When you share sources you should address what I said and not post unrelated stuff like migrant workers amd students. They don’t stay. I’m talking about netto emigration.
When you share a source, you should read it before making conclusions based on the headline.
An English translation about the interview you linked:
Of the Germans who decide to move abroad, more than one in five respondents expressed the intention to live abroad permanently. Half of those surveyed, on the other hand, are planning a temporary stay abroad of up to five years in most cases […]
What is surprising in our findings is indeed the very high average level of qualifications of the emigrants, but our analyses show hardly any evidence of a permanent “brain drain” from Germany […]
Emphasis mine.
Maybe you should stop watching AfD Brainrot on YouTube. If I’m not mistaking you were the guy who either was or pretended to be not smart enough to understand how our tax brackets work, and claimed people were paying here 45% tax on income
How do your tax brackets work? Are they very progressive?
This person over here not based in reality at all
This is the most populistic response. You could share one source at least.
Germany is not coming back.
TLDR:
- Economic activity is expected to stagnate in 2025 due to trade tensions weighing on exports
- Private consumption is nevertheless projected to expand slightly in 2025, boosted by increases in purchasing power and lower interest rates
- Investment is expected to stagnate in 2025 - also related to the elevated geopolitical uncertainty
- In 2026, growth is projected to rebound to 1.1%, as domestic demand strengthens, driven by continued consumption growth and a gradual recovery in investment.
- (Note that government spending -especially infrastructure and defense spending- will have a positive effect on GDP growth in 2025 and 2026, but are not yet included in this forecast as the government has not yet detailed its intentions.)
