Industrial production in Germany is showing a critical level of decline, which was another blow to Europe's largest economy. This opinion was expressed by Bloomberg economic commentator Yana Randow.
The expert clarifies that in June 2025, production in Germany decreased by 1.9% compared to May. The biggest drop affected the production of machinery and equipment, pharmaceuticals and the food industry.
"Economists are particularly concerned about the downturn in the export-oriented industry, which is now facing tariffs imposed by the US administration. Porsche and Audi have already lowered their forecasts, and other companies are warning of growing supply problems that could hit the country's economic growth," says Randow.
The Bloomberg columnist notes that "there are no signs of a speedy recovery." Against this background, the Bundesbank predicts stagnation in 2025 after a long recession that lasted most of the previous two years.
