Saarland in economic descent: Hopelessness in vehicle construction

Saarbrücken (Saarland)- In the last calculations of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK), the economic situation in Saarland has noticeably deteriorated, and the industrial sector is faced with a variety of challenges.

The location in vehicle construction and mechanical engineering

The IHK reports of a particularly worrying development in vehicle construction and the associated mechanical engineering. These industries complain about significant sales declines, while the service sector remains largely stable. This dissonance could have long -term effects on the region's economic strength.

decline in orders and its consequences

The general manager of the IHK, Frank Thomé, is concerned that the drastic decline in order incoming in industry is now also negatively influencing sales development. The export business, which suffers from the current circumstances, is particularly affected. In an international context, many new developments show a positive picture, which makes the situation in Saarland particularly worrying and indicates a growing loss of international competitiveness.

long -term perspectives of companies

The survey among around 300 companies that represent almost 100,000 employees in Saarland indicates a pessimistic view of the coming months. Only four percent of the respondents expect an improvement in their business. In contrast, 13 percent expect deterioration.

A call to support the company

In order to counteract the impending economic descent, Thomé urgently demands measures that support the extensive discharge of companies and increased investments. This is crucial to secure economic stability and boost growth in Saarland. Without targeted efforts, it will be difficult for the region not to lose the connection to nationwide and international developments.

the general business situation from the perspective of the company

Total 31 percent of companies rate their current business situation as "good" or "very good", while 50 percent classify them as "satisfactory". This shows that there are still some companies that are optimistic despite the adverse circumstances, but the majority is dissatisfied with the current economic situation.

The current economic situation in Saarland is therefore characterized by impending upheaval, and it remains to be seen how the affected industries will react to the ongoing challenges. The forecasts indicate that the coming months could be crucial for the economic recovery of the region.
