Germany: Europe's growth engine - real economy 

Germans are seriously well organised. It's very impessive.

It's not about billion dollar companies like Audi or SAP...Germanys secret is we are the world market leader for the thing that goes on the thing that moves the thing to put the soles on the Adidas sneakers in the Chinese company. It's hundreds of thousands highly specialized small companies with one to 200 workers that are secret world market leaders in their niche. It's all about niche niche niche and being the best at it. My town has 45.000 people (with retired people/children etc.) and 50.000 workplaces. There's even French people crossing the border to work here...

Germany peoples are hard workers and they have smart brain that why the are winners at all since decades.

The success of Germany is because of the quality of products they make.....

8:20 She didn't say that the taxes are to high. She says Nebenkosten what means additional costs and not taxes.

whats everybodys problem with germany beeing successfull? and also its not like germany isnt trying to help others. stop seeing germans as the enemy!

model cannot be copied. The work culture of germany differs from that of many countries

Germany is the largest national economy in Europe, the fourth-largest by nominal GDP in the world, and fifth by GDP (PPP). The country is a founding member of the European Union and the Eurozone. The economic model of Germany is based on the concept of the social market economy. In 2014, Germany recorded the highest trade surplus in the world worth $285 billion, making it the biggest capital exporter globally. Germany is the third largest exporter in the world with 1.13 trillion euros ($1.28 trillion) in goods and services exported in 2014. The service sector contributes around 70% of the total GDP, industry 29.1%, and agriculture 0.9%. Exports account for 41% of national output. The top 10 exports of Germany are vehicles, machineries, chemical goods, electronic products, electrical equipments, pharmaceuticals, transport equipments, basic metals, food products, and rubber and plastics. Germany is rich in timber, iron ore, potash, salt, uranium, nickel, copper and natural gas. Energy in Germany is sourced predominantly by fossil fuels (50%), followed by nuclear power second, then gas, wind, biomass (wood and biofuels), hydro and solar. Germany is the first major industrialized nation to commit to the renewable energy transition called Energiewende. Germany is the leading producer of wind turbines in the world. Renewables now produce over 27% of electricity consumed in Germany. 99 percent of all German companies belong to the German "Mittelstand," small and medium-sized enterprises, which are mostly family-owned. Of the world's 2000 largest publicly listed companies measured by revenue, the Fortune Global 2000, 53 are headquartered in Germany, with the Top 10 being Volkswagen, Allianz, Daimler, BMW, Siemens, BASF, Munich Re, E.ON, Bayer, and RWE. Germany is the world's top location for trade fairs. Around two thirds of the world's leading trade fairs take place in Germany. The largest annual international trade fairs and congresses are held in several German cities such as Hanover, Frankfurt, Cologne and Düsseldorf.

they are great because they value working class

who would have though keeping manufacturing jobs in your country is a great idea.

I'd say it comes down to a) quality and b) education. Germans by large are highly qualified because university is affordable to pretty much everyone. It costs roughly 1200 Euro or 1.500 US-Dollar a year to attend, so fees are very low. While in the US almost everyone I know had to go deep in depth to afford university a students job is typically enough in Germany (most students do get a bit of support from their parents for accommodation costs), which leads to a fairly healthy society. German law also provides a lot of job security - if someone wants to fire you, they need to inform you 3 months in advance which leads to loyalty. In the US you don't have to be a good manager, you can hire and fire at will - in Germany you need to plan way more in advance which leads to high efficiency - I think there are not a lot of countries out there exporting as much as we do :)

they invest in their workers too with apprenticeship programs recruiting them young which promotes workplace loyalty with higher levels of pride in there work... they continue to invest in R & D as well... Ok i want a German mentor now....

germany has one of the best economys of the world, no wonder they are so proud! I am proud myself to be half german

that's a great video, many things to learn. Germany has developed after many losses. The best part was saving the resources of the country. I think every person must follow that to save and nurture nature.

A German is ten times better than Americans😂😂😂. The German economy is based on social market and technocrats while the American economy is based on on debt for average Joe , car loans, mortgages, and laissez faire policy.

ilove you so much germanyyy😚😚😚😚😘

You have to admire their manufacturing.....

Germany is good love their cars designs

Best country in the world overall. If only it had more warm and sunny weather.

Germany is like the Japan of Europe the people are so smart and well discipline, thinking there's no Car today if Carl benz didnt invent the Mercedes-Benz.. Europe will fall oneday but atleast think not to include Germany..

It would be good if all countries in the world had the same work ethic, organization as Germany. No country is too small to be well organized, low crime, in order to have a happy population. Germany (and Japan) are good examples.

In Albania more than 80 % of cars are mercedez

The secret...a tiny army. It helps a lot for the economics.

Germans are simple, they work damn hard and every german is a policeman.

I love Germany .every 4 years my heart jump and down for Garmany football

If a country wants to succeed, emulate the Germans...industrious, prudent, innovative, competitive. They invest a lot in education & now a world power house in exports.

German is doing so well because of the low value of the Euro, if they had there own currency they would be less competitive. It is expected that the German miracle is comming to an end , in about 5 years time . The eurozone will bring down Germany.

I love this mith in the UK that Germany lost the war ,The UK is begging for a deal off the EU and Germany is the richest country in the EU 😂

Strong Germany...

Indians love Germany. Germany is great. Reformed democracy. And of course clean, very clean with good systems, in many respects n also industrious.

Germany would have a lower unemployment rate if only the government would abolish/outlaw outsourcing their businesses !

It`s a "dance" on the edge, you`ve always to keep on moving....and some fell down. That`s life and reality.

If the world did it the GERMAN way, everyone would be better off.

Before they became enriched.

the real europes growth engine is the Blue banana, search it on wiki

Germany needs tougher immigration laws showing love from The USA

Japan and Germany succeeded after WWII thanks to laws enforced by the U.S. Today these two economies are going in the wrong direction.

German people are ubermenschen - this is about what Nietzsche has said and this can explain why Germany is superior because of a superior culture, technology, sport and music, economy, language and - believe it or believe it not - because of german history. Or do you think a nation can fought two world wars and after that dominates europe and the world s not superior or an uber nation?

Stop moving. It makes me feel seek.

Motor Germany!

we have so much to learn (czech republic)

Every other nation in the world praises our mercedes, audis, bmws and porsches but everything we germans want is a dodge or a mustang.

She is probably Sri-Lankan!

great Germany!! Just have a control on Islamisation otherwise u know what is happening with Britain.

some countries in EU work hard like germany and give its fair share to EU and other country just enjoy EU benifits by doing nothing.

Germany success is the success of the German people. But what is a German? A country - so small that you cant find on globe - that had made two world wars and at the end Germany was top again - always top again and again - we must ask us: Are Germans people like other people in the world??? If we compare Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, Einstein or Kant then there are only one answer: The Germans are Übermenschen - whatever this means.

If Germany comes out of EU, it will fall off badly.

Dont see anything wrong with that

Germany is an economic supper power.

German machine!

Proven by the way they play football.

Germany is the country that leads Europe

No fabrication

I love portugal

STRONG GERMANY? 1. With Weaponsindustry 2. With Weaponsexports 3. With Wars and Deadexports 4. With Migrantsimport!!!

Great germany

Germany's actions after WW2 is widely seen by e rest of e world as being sincere and genuine, thus they've earned e respects from even former countries they've invaded. Unfortunately, we can't say e same abt thier japanese ally during tt war...

Every time every time

French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday announced that a 'limited lockdown' will be imposed across the nation to curb the spread of coronavirus disease (Covid-19.Y’all should develop an online income means and focus more on bitcoin. I have been into bitcoin for a while now.

Germany is a good country

Germany does have a minimum wage today, though i suspect its partly due to the large immigrant populations in recent years

Where are the Turkish people?

Love the opening music, anyone know the artist(s) ?

That colour presenter is German as well? If yes, then thank you for that kind of "success"

You will make a new video of aflons automobile Germany company Aflons automobile Germany. is the original company. You will research and give me reply.... And so plzz

sad that germany is once again a model. seen this before.

The real reason the Germans have strong exports is their beggar my neighbour approach. The high WTO tariffs and non-tariff barriers that are applied. The unfair exchange rates around the EU, fostered by the Euro undervalued for Germany, overvalued for others. The tight monetary policies of the German run ECB. The surpluses that Germany runs, expecting others to open their borders for German goods, whilst refusing to buy enough back from other countries. Fortunately the rest of the world is waking up to this, with Trump threatening to level up the tariff barriers, and the rise of populists in France, Italy, the UK, Poland, Hungary, Greece, etc. who are fed up with German domination. Respect to the Germans for their work ethic, but to pretend that other peoples are not equally capable of hard work and innovation is nonsense.

Video is not well Researched. Btw im grrman

rich country etc xD what are you talking about. i dont see any of this in everyday life here. i mean of course we have a good welfare and all that stuff but there is also a high ammount of child poverty here, trains and busses are seldom on time and the services in stores (like electronics) are usually not that good

Germany's economy is almost as big as california's

ok hooray for Germany getting back together , but i'll tell you now , with out the US they would be a Soviet satellite, so lets give some cred to the US , stop the hate .

Deutschland Deutschland Deutschland you are lost

THE TRUTH!!! German Cars today are with quality the best, but why to much new Cars for Exports are not sold? Too production? We can see, a Millions of new german Cars are every where in Germany. Old Airports, old Places at Towns, Vilages, and nobody talking about it? German Export is a very strong, but only with Weapons, third Worlds place, after USA and Russia. But 40% Germans are poor?!!! Germany is very "rich" Country, may be for Aldi, Bertellsman, Weaponslobby, Neckermann, BMW, Thyssen Krupp, und, und, und!!!

They are the best because they are the only country in Europe that really work, they have a good engineering and quality products. Others are interesting now in how to make a bubble money stealing other people's money ..

German and Europe petrol engines 1-4 turbo intercooler : over 100 l/100km, easy damage know as bountry hunters, spies, prisoners death, mechanics, street racers rule all brands

I test drove A5 and A7. They are lousy cars. Instead I am buying a Mercedes. lol

More Neo-liberal economic myths

I use to be an enthusiastic fan of the Euro but I've started to change my mind. This currency is ruled only in favor of Germany, their population is getting older faster than any other country in Europe and this is why they don't want inflation (inflation is good for young people (high debt, low savings) and bad for old people (low debt, high savings)) this way of ruling the Euro is not good for my country (France) and obviously not for the Greek. I don't blame the germans for what they are doing, they are the dominant economy in Europe and they do what is good for them, if France were in the same situation we would do what is good for France. But it is just not compatible. Don't forget that the main reason why the German economy perform so well it's because of the Hartz laws and the labour cost dumping. The germans have sacrified a large part of their middle class (% population below poverty line Germany 15,5% France 7,9%). If France (and all other EU nations) would do the same it will just neutralize the german dumping, hurt their economy and we will all come back to the original situation with a poorer population, this is selfish and short-sighted. But the french population will never accept this kind of measures, it will be seen as unfair and unjust and the people would fight hard. It seems that there is no solution but leaving the Euro. If not I don't think we will keep our democraties for long....

of course if you artificially lower the wages (which is course unfair), the companies are benefiting from it. yes, germany has cutting edge technologies, but short of manpower. i believe in a short period of time there will be civil war in this country because of too much inequality thanks to government cuddling the industries and neglecting the need of common workers. there really are too many working poor here, living from paycheck to paycheck.

Germany is in economical crisis.
