No Genuine Industrial Upswing

DIHK Economic Expert Jupp Zenzen on the August 2026 Production Figures

07.10.2026 - "There can be no talk of a broad upswing in the industrial sector. Despite a slight increase at the current edge, industrial production has actually slightly declined compared to the previous year. In the energy-intensive industry, production is as low as it has not been since the end of 2023. Real structural reforms are needed to make Germany's industrial location competitive again."
