BENEFITS OF INVESTING IN GERMANY
Germany attracts numerous foreign investments, as indicated by the latest statistics. Many non-Germans have made substantial investments due to Germany’s central location, which provides easy access to neighboring countries.
Germany has become the largest economy in Europe. This puts it in the ideal position to have a major influence on the decisions of investors and entrepreneurs, as we have observed in our work with our customers. Germany’s large economy is primarily due to industrialization and being at the forefront of innovation, which makes investing in Germany akin to investing in the global economy. In 2023, 30 of the Global Fortune 500 Companies and 80 of the Fortune 500 Europe were incorporated in Germany, more than in any other European country.
The highly skilled German workforce has motivated numerous expats to invest in the country. This is mainly because having such a proficient and educated workforce enables businesses to maximize their output and achieve greater productivity within shorter periods of time.
Germany’s investor-friendly tax law makes it easier to understand and interpret tax regulations. The tax laws have been well-structured to promote investment for decades.
RISKS OF INVESTING IN GERMANY
While investing in Germany offers numerous benefits, of course you also need to consider the associated risks before making a decision. Germany’s EU membership presents potential challenges, such as the sovereign debt crisis in Europe. The possibility of “contagion” from a failing economy in the EU spreading to Germany cannot be ruled out, which could have negative impacts on its economy. Germany’s population is experiencing declining growth in many regions, resulting in an aging and less productive population. These factors highlight the importance of evaluating risk versus reward when considering investments in Germany.
