Economic forecast for Baden-Württemberg for the 2nd quarter 2025: Economic recovery - but with risks.

The nowcast and the forecast are based on a total of 95 different individual indicators for Baden-Württemberg, Germany, the EU and the world. Among other things, the calculations take into account companies' assessments of economic development in Germany and Baden-Württemberg. Companies continue to assess the current situation negatively, while business expectations for the future have stabilized. The climate indicators for consumer demand have also improved slightly. Export demand also increased in spring 2025. However, the latter could also be due to companies bringing forward purchases in light of the announcement of high import tariffs by the US government in April 2025.
