German Economy, Once Europe?s Leader, Now Looks Like Laggard Internet Articles | April 3, 2017
FRANKFURT —?China is cutting back on mining machinery as its economy slips. The United Arab Emirates and other Middle Eastern countries are no longer awash in oil money, putting luxury car brands at risk. Russia, still facing Western sanctions, cannot buy as much high-tech energy equipment.
FRANKFURT —?China is cutting back on mining machinery as its economy slips. The United Arab Emirates and other Middle Eastern countries are no longer awash in oil money Dallas Goedert Color Rush Jersey , putting luxury car brands at risk. Russia, still facing Western sanctions, cannot buy as much high-tech energy equipment.
The downshift in the emerging markets is leaving Germany vulnerable — and, by extension, Europe.
As many businesses in the region struggled just to tread water in recent years, German companies prospered by selling the goods and technology that emerging countries needed to become more modern economies. As they did, Germany’s strength served as a counterweight to the economic malaise Jay Ajayi Color Rush Jersey , financial turmoil and Greek debt drama that dragged down many European countries.
Now, Germany, which accounts for the largest share of the European economy, is looking like the laggard. Compared with the economies of other countries in the region, Germany’s has been more deeply tethered to emerging markets. And the political climate is only adding to the uncertainty, as Germany deals with a wave of migrants and a potential exit of Britain from the European Union.
Against that backdrop, the country’s export engine is sputtering Brian Dawkins Color Rush Jersey , while business confidence is eroding.
During the good times, the German manufacturer Eickhoff Bergbautechnik sold 20 machines a year as China dug ever more coal mines to feed its energy-hungry factories. The machines, shearer loaders that use giant spinning claws to scrape coal or potash from underground seams, sell for up to 4 million euros, or about $4.6 million apiece.
Last year, the company sold just eight. With profit dropping, Eickhoff laid off about 10 percent of its local work force of 300.
