According to a new analysis, Leipzig has lost popularity as a business location. Only 7 percent of companies now give the location the top rating of "very good" - compared to 15 percent in 2019. At the same time, the proportion of "good" ratings fell from 69% to 46%, according to a joint study by the Leipzig Chamber of Skilled Crafts and the Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK).
According to the study, the ratings for administrative processes, inner-city traffic and the level of energy prices, fees, charges and taxes in particular have deteriorated compared to 2019. Despite the points of criticism, Leipzig remains "one of the most attractive business locations in Germany" according to the analysis.
