Beyond the obvious: Zahlen sagen mehr als 1000 Worte
Die Datenlage ist ein wirtschaftspolitischer Realitätscheck – der Datev-Mittelstandsindex stellt sie monatlich bereit.
Germany often reforms its policies without knowing if they actually work, a trend that frequently overlooks companies with fewer than 250 employees, which make up around 55 percent of total net value creation in the country. This important blind spot is addressed by the Datev-Mittelstandsindex, which uses VAT pre-notifications from nearly a million companies and payroll data for over eight million workers to provide timely and precise economic insights like no other tool.
However, the data can offer even more, such as direct analysis of the positive and negative consequences of economic policies, like raising the minimum wage. Daniel Stelter discusses with Dr. Robert Mayr, CEO of Datev eG and honorary professor at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, how the German economy is faring and what can be said about the impact of political measures.
