🇺🇸💵🇪🇺 Trump's Victory: "The EU's Most Terrifying Economic Nightmare Has Become Reality," — The New York Times

▪️The USA is the largest trading partner of the EU and Britain. The introduction of American tariffs on European goods will hit hard key industries and plunge Europe into a full-scale recession, — states The New York Times

▪️The blow has come at the worst possible time for Europe, as political chaos shakes the two largest economies in the EU — Germany and France. Additionally, Germany has already been in a state of recession for two years.

▪️The increase in tariffs will reduce investments in Europe and stimulate capital flight to the USA. According to EU data, direct investments from the European Union to the USA amounted to $2.4 trillion in 2022 and created over 3.4 million jobs in America. This trend will only intensify.

⚡️📊🇩🇪 Electricity prices in Germany are rising rapidly. Although the industry could not even cope with the old prices.

📍The country has many problems aside from energy. The corporate tax rate in Germany (~30%) is the highest in the OECD. As a result, corporate investments in Germany are declining. Before the pandemic, investment activity in Germany was higher than in the Eurozone.

📍Now almost half of Germany's industrial companies want to expand abroad. In a survey of 115 industrial company executives, 45% stated that they are looking for development options abroad, while only 13% would like to open new enterprises in Germany itself.

📍Another 29% of companies plan to move jobs out of Germany, and only 4% plan to bring jobs back. The German Chamber of Commerce (DIHK) reports sad news: an economic decline of 0.2% is expected this year, with stagnation again in 2025.

📍Family businesses in Germany have often been called the anchor of stability, but their mood is now gloomier than during the pandemic. A survey by The Family Entrepreneurs and The Young Entrepreneurs showed that every second company considers "the unpredictability of financial policy" as an obstacle to investment. 49% are already planning to completely abandon investments in Germany.

📍The main problem is Chancellor Scholz's government and its policies, which continue to drive capital out of the country.

📍Germany's elections are unlikely to help. Germans are caught in a vicious circle - they want to vote for the CDU party led by Friedrich Merz. Together with Scholz's SPD and the Greens, they will again lead the government. The priorities of these parties are not the situation in Germany, but accumulating debt for Ukraine, supplying it with weapons and missiles. The CDU is the party that has allowed Ursula von der Leyen to lead the European Union again, who is constantly involved in Ukraine.
