Ifo-Chef: Deutsche Wirtschaft trotz Chipmangel optimistisch / Deutschland nach Eklat um Wadephuls China-Reise im Dilemma
Die Stimmung in den deutschen Unternehmen hellt auf: Der ifo-Geschäftsklimaindex stieg im Oktober auf 88,4 Punkte nach 87,7 Punkten im September. Besonders Dienstleister, Tourismus und IT blicken optimistischer in die Zukunft. Dennoch droht das erhoffte leichte Wirtschaftswachstum im laufenden Jahr, ins Stocken zu geraten – vor allem, wenn der Chipmangel anhält. Denn seitdem der chinesische Hersteller Nexperia keine Halbleiter mehr liefern kann, steht die Auto- und Zulieferindustrie vor ernsten Problemen. Laut Berechnungen des Verbands Forschender Arzneimittelhersteller (VFA) könnte das Wirtschaftswachstum dadurch bis zu 0,5 Prozentpunkte geringer ausfallen. Das ifo-Institut aber sieht hier bisher kein größeres Risiko. „Dass der Chipm...

Handelsblbatt Today vom 08.02.2023 Die Ankündigung des Chipherstellers Intel im März vergangenen Jahres, eine hochmoderne Fabrik in Magdeburg errichten zu wollen, wurde als Coup gefeiert. Eine Ansiedlung des US-Konzerns wäre für die Stadt und die gesamte Region ein großer wirtschaftlicher Gewinn. Inklusive Zulieferern könnten insgesamt 10.000 Arbeitsplätze entstehen. Doch jetzt geraten die Pläne des zweitgrößten Chipherstellers der Welt offenbar ins Stocken. Der Bund hatte bisher 6,8 Milliarden Euro an Fördergeldern zugesagt. Wie das Handelsblatt von Regierungsvertretern erfuhr, hält Intel nun aber Zuschüsse von fast zehn Milliarden Euro für notwendig. „...
