Germans look at 2025: worries about crises and prosperity!

The Germans look with great concern for 2025. A current survey commissioned by the Hamburg Foundation for future questions shows that 63 percent of the respondents look into the new year with fear. In comparison to this, it was only 59 percent in the previous year, as Radio Hochstift reported. This development is underpinned by a similar study by the future researcher Horst Opaschowski, in which 64 percent of the participants even share this concerned attitude. The political crisis and inadequate crisis management with simultaneous growing dissatisfaction with the political decision -makers strengthen the concerns of the population.

The surveys show that trust in the crisis literacy of politics is at a historical low. While 65 percent of Germans were still satisfied with crisis management in 2020, today it is only 23 percent. These worrying numbers correlate with the growing gap between the poor and the empire and the precarious economic situation, which is burdened by many people. The continuing increase in living costs and the uncertainties related to the economic situation contribute to the general fear, such as Wnoz reported.

personal worries remain damped

Despite the general concern, there are also positive signs. Almost half of the respondents expressed a certain hope for their personal economic situation. 52 percent stated that they were less concerned about their individual financial situation, although the economy is weakening as a whole. This increase in confidence could indicate that people have not resigned despite the global challenges.
