A new survey of institutional investors in Germany and the US who collectively manage EUR 44.37 billion of assets, reveals 80 percent believe the German Government has delivered a much more comprehensive package to support its economy and jobs than other major nations.

The findings are from MBH Corporation plc, a diversified investment holding company listed on the Frankfurt and Dusseldorf Stock Exchanges that acquires successful, well established small- to medium-sized enterprises across multiple geographies and sectors.

The German Government has forecast economic growth of around 4.4 percent in 2021, but 40 percent of professional investors interviewed for the survey think it will be higher than this, compared to 20 percent who believe it will be lower.

When it comes to investing in Germany and German stocks, 26 percent of institutional investors expect professional investors to dramatically increase their exposure here, and a further 40 percent expect it to rise slightly.

However, like all countries looking to recover from the Covid-19 crisis, Germany will face many challenges. In September, the German Government forecast that its economy will shrink by around 5.8 percent in 2020, but 62 percent of institutional investors believe it will be higher than this.

It has been predicted that the German economy will recover to pre-pandemic levels by Q4 2021, but MBH Corporation's research reveals just 28 percent of institutional investors believe it will achieve this before then, compared to 46 percent who believe it will take longer than this.
