Bad loan burden grows for German banks in 2024 amid spike in insolvencies
FRANKFURT, July 7 (Xinhua) -- Non-performing loans (NPLs), also known as "bad loans," rose sharply in Germany in 2024 due to a surge in corporate insolvencies, according to a study by the consulting firm BearingPoint published on Monday. Among all European countries, Germany recorded the steepest increase in NPLs, rising by 24.9 percent in 2024. By contrast, the average NPL increase among the 163 European financial institutions examined was just 1.1 percent, the study found. According to the European Central Bank (ECB), a loan is classified as non-performing when the borrower is likely to be unable to meet repayment obligations on time. These loans, often referred to as "bad loans," pose a significant risk to banks when borrowers fail to make scheduled payments despite initially appearing financially stable. The sharp rise in NPLs in Germany was primarily attributed to a spike in corporate insolvencies, as well as significant losses and defaults in commercial real estate lending, BearingPoint said. More than 21,900 German companies filed for insolvency in 2024, marking a 23.1 percent year-on-year increase, according to figures from CRIF, a global provider of credit information and risk management solutions. This represents the highest number of insolvencies in Germany since 2015. CRIF noted that multiple overlapping crises, including high energy costs, ongoing supply chain disruptions as well as geopolitical and political uncertainty, have contributed to financial instability for many German businesses. Persistent high levels of NPLs could threaten bank profitability and reduce the capacity to lend to businesses and consumers, warned an article from the European Commission's Directorate-General for Financial Stability, Financial Services and Capital Markets Union. Financial analysts have pointed out that a growing burden of bad loans could significantly exacerbate Germany's economic slowdown, particularly given the country's strong dependence on commercial real estate lending and corporate financing amid broader EU-wide recovery efforts.

Global Electric Mobility: Insights From BearingPoint and HRI Show Technology on Par, but Market Attractiveness Depends on Infrastructure, Price, and Trust
The new E-Mobility Attractiveness Index from BearingPoint and the Handelsblatt Research Institute (HRI) reveals a shift in the global EV market: Chinese brands are gaining ground, and German manufacturers are defending their home turf. China leads the market in the global comparison, with the US, Germany, and especially France trailing. AMSTERDAM, July 03, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As battery electric vehicles (BEVs) reach similar levels of technological maturity worldwide, other factors are now decisive in shaping market attractiveness and influencing consumer purchasing decisions. The new 2025 E-Mobility Attractiveness Index by BearingPoint and the Handelsblatt Research Institute compares for the first time the four major auto markets: China, France, Germany, and the US. The index aims to assess how BEVs are perceived in each market — based on objective data and country-specific surveys of drivers — and to identify the key factors influencing market success. China leads the index with a score of 133.5 points (baseline 100), followed by the US (114.4), Germany (108.4), and France (94.6). The technological foundation of available BEVs — including range, charging speed, and energy consumption — has become increasingly similar across models in all four countries. As a result, competition is shifting away from the technology itself toward infrastructural and policy frameworks, as well as brand trust. "China's lead is strategically grounded but not insurmountable. It stems from years of political initiatives, massive support for domestic automakers, targeted market regulation, and consistent technology transfer. Europe can remain competitive if it creates innovation-friendly frameworks, keeps international markets accessible to European manufacturers, regulates and promotes more swiftly, and maintains its focus on quality, digitalization, and sustainability," says Sven Jung, Director of Economic Analysis & Financial Planning at the Handelsblatt Research Institute. Charging infrastructure determines everyday usability The importance of charging infrastructure is particularly evident. In China and Germany, BEV customers benefit from a high density of public charging stations, which provide reliable coverage not only in urban areas but also across rural regions. In contrast, France and the US have a patchy charging network — especially in rural areas and large cities without access to private charging — which significantly limits everyday usability and, thus, market penetration. "For a charging infrastructure to be truly usable in everyday life, two key factors are essential. First, it must be so well-developed that drivers no longer need to plan routes around charging stations. And second, fast-charging points are crucial to ensure that charging itself doesn't result in significant time loss," comments Sven Jung. Monetary aspects are crucial, but are heavily influenced by policy The index results also show that while monetary factors, such as vehicle prices and electricity costs, remain central to purchasing decisions, they are heavily influenced by policy. In China, electric vehicles are especially affordable due to government subsidies, low electricity prices, and cost advantages from mass production. In contrast, high electricity costs and the removal of purchase incentives in Germany reduce BEV market attractiveness. Moreover, high EU tariffs weaken the competitiveness of Chinese models. In response, manufacturers like BYD and Leapmotor are investing in production facilities in Europe. "Price, incentives, and power: e-mobility will only reach the mass market when purchase incentives, charging infrastructure, and fair electricity prices come together — and here, also governments have a role to play. In Germany, for example, a targeted reintroduction of purchase premiums, tax incentives to regulate electricity prices, and a rapid expansion of the charging network could have a significant short-term impact. In the medium term, promoting affordable BEV models, combined with OEM innovation and scaling, as well as investment in semiconductors, battery cell production, recycling, and the development of local value chains, will be key," explains Manuel Schuler, Global Leader Automotive and Industrial Manufacturing at BearingPoint. Trust is also a critical but often underestimated success factor Trust in manufacturers also plays a central role, especially in international brand comparisons. In all four examined markets, domestic brands perform best: BYD in China, Renault in France, VW in Germany, and Tesla in the US. With 155.9 points, BYD achieved the highest individual score in the Attractiveness Index. However, these brands lose significant attractiveness in foreign markets, highlighting the strong influence of regional brand loyalty and trust on purchase decisions. Chinese manufacturers like BYD and MG, despite their technological maturity, struggle with image issues in Europe. The trust advantage of German brands — particularly in the premium segment — remains a strategic asset, though it is increasingly under pressure, especially among younger and more brand-agnostic consumers. "Chinese OEMs are technically competitive, but they need to build trust through better branding and a reliable local presence. Successful market entry requires a long-term commitment, competitive pricing, a strong understanding of local customer needs, and a market-specific brand strategy. Only then can they translate their technical quality into actual market success," says Manuel Schuler. About the Study The E-Mobility Attractiveness Index was developed in 2024 by BearingPoint and the Handelsblatt Research Institute for the German market. It reflects the attractiveness of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) to potential buyers within a given market. In 2025, the index was also calculated for China, France, and the US. The index is based on a survey of drivers in each country regarding trust in manufacturers' quality promises and perceptions of digital innovation, along with objective parameters such as price, range, charging speed, electricity costs per 100 kilometers, and charging station density. These factors are weighted differently according to their importance in the purchasing decision. The evaluation includes vehicle models from various manufacturers that are either currently in demand or expected to be relevant in each country, representing a range of price segments. A portion of the manufacturers — VW, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Tesla, and BYD (not available in the USA) — is identical across all four countries. About the Handelsblatt Research Institute Handelsblatt Research Institute (HRI) is an independent research Institute owned by the Handelsblatt Media Group. It produces scientific studies on behalf of clients such as companies, financial investors, associations, foundations, and government agencies. It benefits from the combined scientific expertise of a 20-strong team of economists, social and natural scientists, information scientists, and historians with journalistic expertise in the preparation of the results.
