Statistically speaking, the year 2024 in Germany:

A failed government


Inflation grew by 2.2%, gross domestic product shrank by 0.1% compared to 2023, the promised increase of 1.1% turned out to be wishful thinking.


Around 121,000 insolvency proceedings were registered.


Over 126,000 jobs were lost.


Natural disasters cost insurance companies 5.5 billion.


The concept of energy sovereignty is a joke. Germany bought 77,000 GWh abroad and spent 5.3 billion on it. Ecological grass is growing where nuclear power plants once stood.


Around 80% of hospitals are struggling to survive: The largest number in the last twenty years. Funding from the budget is nowhere near enough.


Around 258,000 asylum applications were submitted in 2024, 21,100 of which were illegal under the Dublin Convention because the applicants entered the EU via Greece.


Since July 24, 2024, 1710 knife attacks have been registered. The Knife Incident website went live on July 24, so the statistics are not from January 1. The “Gun Free Zone” signs are probably a bad joke.



What are the forecasts for 2025?

43% of entrepreneurs are planning job cuts.


The number of unemployed will be 2.5 million.


The economy will grow by 0.1% (or not).

The law was passed after intense debate and is to apply from 2025. The aim is to protect children from psychological and physical harm caused by excessive use of social media, particularly through problematic content. Reactions are mixed: while some welcome the law, others criticize it as an encroachment on freedom. Experts and tech companies warn of possible negative consequences such as children being moved to more dangerous platforms.
