GERMANY - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

The German economy - the fifth largest economy in the world in PPP terms and Europe's largest - is a leading exporter of machinery, vehicles, chemicals, and household equipment and benefits from a highly skilled labor force. Like its Western European neighbors, Germany faces significant demographic challenges to sustained long-term growth. Low fertility rates and declining net immigration are increasing pressure on the country's social welfare system and necessitate structural reforms. Reforms launched by the government of Chancellor Gerhard SCHROEDER (1998-2005), deemed necessary to address chronically high unemployment and low average growth, contributed to strong growth and falling unemployment. These advances, as well as a government subsidized, reduced working hour scheme, help explain the relatively modest increase in unemployment during the 2008-09 recession - the deepest since World War II - and its decrease to 5.3% in 2014. The new German government introduced a minimum wage of about $11.60 (8.50 euros) per hour to take effect in 2015. Stimulus and stabilization efforts initiated in 2008 and 2009 and tax cuts introduced in Chancellor Angela MERKEL's second term increased Germany's total budget deficit - including federal, state, and municipal - to 4.1% in 2010, but slower spending and higher tax revenues reduced the deficit to 0.8% in 2011 and in 2012 Germany reached a budget surplus of 0.1%. The budget was essentially in balance in 2014. A constitutional amendment approved in 2009 limits the federal government to structural deficits of no more than 0.35% of GDP per annum as of 2016 though the target was already reached in 2012. Following the March 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster, Chancellor Angela MERKEL announced in May 2011 that eight of the country's 17 nuclear reactors would be shut down immediately and the remaining plants would close by 2022. Germany plans to replace nuclear power with renewable energy, which accounts for 34% of total energy consumption, up from 9% in 2000. Before the shutdown of the eight reactors, Germany relied on nuclear power for 23% of its electricity generating capacity and 46% of its base-load electricity production.

Equity ratio

 

 The equity ratio indicates the portion of the equity as compared

 to the total capital. The higher the equity ratio, the better the

 economic stability (solvency) and thus the financial autonomy of

 a company.

 

 

 Liquidity ratio

 

 The liquidity ratio shows the proportion between adjusted

 receivables and net liabilities. The higher the ratio, the lower

 the company's financial dependancy from external creditors.

 

 

 Return on total capital

 

 The return on total capital shows the efficiency and return on

 the total capital employed in the company. The higher the return

 on total capital, the more economically does the company work

 with the invested capital.

 

 

 Balance sheet grade

 

 The balance sheet grade is based on the following ratios: equity

 ratio, liquidity ratio and return on total capital from the

 balance sheets published in the Federal Gazette. It is calculated

 in accordance with the methodology of Euler Hermes. It ranges

 from 1.0 (positive) to 5.0 (negative).

 

 

 Type of balance sheet: Company balance sheet
