German economy faces “Deepest Post-War Crisis,” warns industry leaders
Germany’s economy is experiencing its deepest post-war crisis, according to the country’s leading industrial federation, which criticized the government for failing to respond decisively.
Peter Leibinger, president of the Federation of German Industries (BDI), stated that industrial output has declined for the fourth consecutive year and warned that the country’s industrial sector is facing a “dramatic low” by the end of 2025.
“The German economy is in free fall, yet the government is not acting with the necessary determination,” Leibinger said in a statement. The BDI’s warning highlights concerns over production, employment, and competitiveness as Europe’s largest economy struggles to regain momentum.
Industry representatives called for immediate policy measures to stabilize manufacturing and prevent further erosion of Germany’s industrial base.
