Expansion Continues to Dominate Investment in Eastern German Manufacturing

Abstract

In mid-March we reported on the investment plans in eastern German industry (ifo Schnelldienst 8/2000). The final evaluation of results of the Ifo Investment Survey (including all late responses) produced some changes for individual industries, but the results for industry as a whole were unchanged: DM 12.35 billion in investment in 2000. In the most recent survey, a question was included that had not been asked for some time on the structure of investments. The most important investment motive by far in eastern Germany continues to be expansion: on average for 1998, 1999 and 2000, about 58% of total investment went to expanding production facilities. Far less significant were rationalization measures (17%) and replacement measures (14%). A relatively unimportant role is played by restructurings and 'other investments'.
