DIW Warns of Weakening Regional Economies in Germany Amid AfD Rise

21 Eylül 2026Bloomberg

The DIW reports that Germany's regional economies are expected to weaken as the far-right AfD gains support, leading to population and business departures.
According to Marcel Fratzscher, president of DIW Berlin, Germany's regional economies are set to weaken further as the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) gains strength. He highlights a concerning trend of both German citizens and companies leaving the country, not just those with migrant backgrounds.
This shift poses significant challenges for the economic landscape in Germany.
The Alternative for Germany (AfD) has gained traction in recent years, reflecting growing discontent among certain voter demographics. This political shift is occurring against a backdrop of economic uncertainty in Europe, where many countries are grappling with the impacts of global events and internal challenges.
The rise of the AfD may signal deeper societal divisions that could deter investment and talent retention in Germany. As the political climate shifts, economic stability could be threatened, leading to a potential brain drain and capital flight that could exacerbate the challenges facing regional economies.
