Europe's largest economy, manufacturing heartland, and the member state most exposed to the twin shocks of US-China decoupling and energy transition.
## Key dynamics (2025-2026)
- **Industry**: Auto, chemicals, machinery. Facing structural headwinds from Chinese EV competition and high post-Ukraine energy costs. - **AI policy**: EU AI Act fully in force. Germany's BfDI (data protection) and BSI (security) enforcing at national level. High-risk AI systems restricted. - **Politics**: Coalition governance under strain. AfD rising in polls. Institutional trust declining but still high vs US baseline. - **Ecological**: Strong climate policy commitments, carbon pricing, renewable energy share over 50% of electricity.
