[HIGHLIGHTS] German companies with record investments in the USA – “We are currently falling behind”

German companies with record investments in the USA – “We are currently falling behind’ Germany is the fourth largest foreign investor in the United States, creating over 330,000 jobs there. The main reason for the attractiveness of the USA as a location is the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) drawn up by the US government under President Joe Biden.

The clear framework conditions of the IRA give companies investment security, according to economists. Then there are the cheaper energy prices and the strong growth of the US economy.
