Berlin's economic power is growing, economic forecast positive

Berlin's economy on the road to success

Berlin's economic output has been growing dynamically for years. In 2024, price-adjusted gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 0.8% compared to the previous year (Germany: -0.2 percent). Berlin thus recorded the fourth-highest growth rate in Germany. For more than ten years, real GDP in the capital has outperformed the German economy as a whole. The number of people in employment rose by 0.3 percent compared to the previous year and was therefore 0.1 percent above the national average. In 2024, consumer prices in Berlin increased by an average of 1.6 percent over the previous year.
