🐈 Germany is experiencing its worst industrial crisis since 1945, marking the collapse of its long-standing export-driven model — the so-called “miracle mercantile.”

French economic commentator Nicolas Doze argues that “everything that made the German machine run has jammed,” concluding that “Germany is paying the price of an obsolete model.”

According to LCI and Germany’s industry federation (BDI):

Industrial production has fallen for 4 straight years, worse than the 2008 crash or the 2020 Covid shock.

Auto sector meltdown: 49,000 jobs lost in one year, a “social bloodletting” for a sector employing over a million people.

Growth is stuck at 0%, below the EU average.

Public debt rising (65% of GDP).

The BDI describes an “economy in free fall.”


Why the crisis?

Doze highlights deep structural problems:

Energy shock after losing Russian gas, with soaring industrial power costs.

Green transition pressure: Germany lags China in EVs and batteries as the 2035 ban on combustion engines approaches.

Global competition: China in exports, the U.S. with IRA subsidies.

Demographics & bureaucracy: aging workers, higher wages, slow administrative processes.

This marks the end of Germany’s export-driven boom (40% of GDP).

Consequences

Rising unemployment (projected 6% in 2026).

Political pressure on the Scholz coalition to launch an “industrial Marshall Plan.”

EU impact: Germany drags down European growth while France gains ground in aerospace and services.
