Germany

Germany is an industrialized nation with strong international links and a pronounced export focus. In the annual World Trade Organisation (WTO) rankings, Germany is regularly placed among the three largest exporters only behind China and the United States. Germany’s economic success is based on its industrial performance and its capacity for innovation. With 785,000 jobs, the automotive industry is regarded as a market leader. Alongside the automotive industry, plant and mechanical engineering and the chemical industry are traditionally strong pillars of the German economy.
