The Federation of German Industries (BDI) considers high investments and far-reaching structural reforms necessary in order to maintain Germany as an industrial location. Otherwise, around 20 percent of German industrial value creation will be at risk by 2030, according to a study presented on Tuesday by the Boston Consulting Group and the German Economic Institute on behalf of the BDI. According to the study, the proportion at risk is particularly high in coking plants and mineral oil processing at around 60 percent, in basic chemicals at 40 percent and in automotive manufacturing at 30 percent.
