Corporate Insolvency Surge: Germany is projected to experience its highest corporate insolvency rate in over a decade, with an estimated 23,900 companies expected to go bankrupt in 2025, primarily affecting small and micro-enterprises.
Impact on ETFs: The rising insolvency rates pose risks for investors in the iShares MSCI Germany ETF and Global X DAX Germany ETF, as the financial strain on small businesses can lead to supply-chain disruptions and affect the performance of larger companies.
Consumer Financial Strain: Private bankruptcies are also anticipated to rise by 6.5% in 2025, driven by over-indebted households and increasing unemployment, further complicating the economic landscape for ETFs with exposure to consumer sectors.
Challenging Economic Outlook: Creditreform warns of a deteriorating competitive position for Germany due to high costs and bureaucratic challenges, suggesting a tough economic environment for both corporate and consumer sectors leading into 2026.
