Foreword

Smart is as smart does If you want to be successful, you should never be satisfied with the status quo. When Berlin’s economy was shrinking, it was important to get the city back on track to growth. But now that growth is the new normal, an intelligent response is required. Because simply continuing to want more of the same is neither clever, nor beneficial or even desirable. In short: it isn’t smart. And smart thinking – and even more importantly, a smart approach – is crucial in a metropolis with more than 3.5 million inhabitants, a figure which is swelling by nearly 50,000 every year, where there is growing pressure on living space and as well as commercial space, and where citizens are determined to demand more of a say in their future. And all of this comes at a time when the digital revolution is introducing radical changes to every sphere of public and private life. The success of smart growth strategies for Berlin will have to be measured against the extent to which they are able to overcome these challenges. Political, social and economic players will bear joint responsibility for devising and implementing these strategies. The 2016 edition of ‘Berlin’s Economy in Figures’ uses statistics to illustrate and interpret the most important processes of growth and transformation in our city: new start-ups and the job market, exports and science, population figures

Dr. Beatrice Kramm, President of CCI Berlin, and Stephan Schwarz, President of the Chamber of Skilled Crafts Berlin

and annual income are all represented and explained with clear diagrams. We also use specially selected data to highlight the symbiotic relationship which exists between Berlin and the state of Brandenburg. But even this compendium has not escaped the effects of the digital revolution: we have drastically reduced its size in comparison with earlier editions, and are now posting a comprehensive set of facts and figures on the websites of CCI Berlin and the Chamber of Skilled Crafts Berlin: a more sustainable, efficient and also smarter solution. Because the same applies equally to ourselves: we never want to be satisfied with the status quo.

Ascending the growth peaks Mountaineers often say that every time you conquer a peak, another, even higher mountain heaves into view. This adage also applies to recent developments in Berlin’s economic performance. The first and most difficult ascent – overcoming the structural weakness in economic growth – is now behind us: Berlin has ranked among the leading federal states in this category in many, albeit not all, years in the recent past. Yet the next peak is already on the horizon: Berlin continues to perform well below the German average in terms of per-capita values, and is strongly outperformed by the front-runners. The GDP per employed person in Berlin is only 95 percent of the national figure, and this falls to as little as

83 percent when it comes to primary income*. Berlin is growing first and foremost through the creation of new jobs, with rising productivity playing a comparatively minor role. The city’s next great challenge will be to create conditions conducive to boosting productivity in new and existing workplaces. Traditional strategies will be required, such as strengthening the links between business and science, but it will also be important to create and maintain opportunities for entrepreneurial experimentation. And once this peak too has been conquered, the next will rise up right behind it.

* The primary income of private households (including private non-profit organisations) incorporates income from gainful employment and assets coming into private households in Germany. More specifically, this income includes employee compensation, the mixed income of self-proprietorships or self-employed persons, including remuneration for family workers, the operating surplus from the production of services from one’s own use of residential property, and net receipts from investment income (including the purchase of financial services, indirect measurement).

Berlin conurbation* * For explanatory notes, cf. p. 28

The gravitational pull towards the centre Just as bright stars maintain planets in their orbit, so a shining metropolis draws people to its centre and outskirts. And Berlin is no exception: its population has been growing for quite some time, and in the last few years the equivalent of the population of an entire city has taken up residence here. What is lesser-known is that the Berlin outer conurbation* has also been seeing its population rise dramatically – in the last twenty years alone, it has attracted 200,000 new inhabitants, who responded to the gravitational pull of the metropolis. Tens of thousands commute into the city every day. And businesses with a relatively large need for space are also settling in Berlin’s outer conurbation.

8

They are thus able to distance themselves from the competition for space in the urban centre whilst at the same time benefitting from its cosmopolitanism, employment and research potential. The Berlin conurbation* is one of the few regions in Germany which looks set to remain demographically stable in the future. In 2030, about 77 percent of the population is expected to be of working age. In the regions of Brandenburg which are slightly more distant from Berlin, this figure will only be 63 percent.

Employees

* The Federal Employment Agency reviewed the employment statistics. This revision of the number of employees subject to social insurance only goes back to 2007. Earlier data has not been revised.

A consistent trend For the last ten years, the size of the workforce in Berlin has been growing at a remarkably steady pace. The graph illustrating this trend shows a steady upward progression. Even tremors such as those caused by the Lehman crisis left only a minor dent in this line, which exhibited no decline in any of the years in question. The graph depicting employees subject to social insurance is even more gratifying, as since 2010 it has been climbing even more steeply than before. Companies in Berlin created an additional 175,000 jobs during this period alone, with more than 45,000 dating to the period between December 2014 and the end of 2015.

The way this trend develops in the future will be largely dependent on increased productivity and our ability to continue to attract a highly-qualified skilled workforce to Berlin. Berlin’s ‘jobs miracle’ could never have been achieved without the growth in population we have witnessed in recent years. It is important to ensure that the city remains attractive to incomers so that we have an ever-growing pool of skilled workers to call on. At the same time, we should be tackling our still high unemployment rate by improving skills and helping the jobless to fulfil their potential.

Beacons of knowledge Berlin may only have one Fernsehturm, but it is still a towering presence in the field of academia. Many of its dozens of beacons of knowledge are of no lesser prestige than the sky-scraping structure next to Alexanderplatz: the Humboldt University keeps alive the spirit of humanistic traditions, while the Free University represents a radical break with tradition. At many research institutions, of which those of the Max Planck Society are among the best known, the secrets of nature and culture are being unravelled – Berlin was and remains a site where knowledge is safeguarded, taught and generated. From the prosaic viewpoint of commerce, this affords the location an important advantage; not just for companies involved in research and development, but also

14

because it can provide training and career development for skilled labour. But the role played by academic instituions in Berlin goes much further than this. They play an important part in underpinning and reinvigorating the city’s cosmopolitan outlook, and attract teachers and students here from all over the world. It is difficult to overstate their contribution to the vibrant intellectual atmosphere of Berlin, where pioneering approaches and experimentation are the norm rather than the exception. To date, we can count 110 beacons of knowledge. And that number is bound to increase.

You don’t always notice the figures in the shadows… Statistics give us a snapshot of reality. They tell us, for instance, that Berlin’s export rate was only 11.4 percent last year. But does that actually represent the true picture? Perhaps it does, if you adopt the traditional definition, whereby goods cross borders to reach consumers. But what if the user himself comes to Berlin to spend his money? That scenario is not recorded in the export statistics. But in Berlin, this type of service exportation is the most important form of cross-border trade relations. If you were to include the spending of more than ten million tourists a year, then the contribution to Berlin’s GDP stemming from other countries would be considerably higher.

16

This is not to undermine in any way the calls for better local conditions, especially for small and medium-sized export businesses. It does, however, put Berlin’s export rate – which is much discussed and often invoked as evidence of Berlin’s lack of competitive strength – in perspective. It also sheds light on an area which tends to be hidden among the shadows of statistical reality.

The symbiotic relationship between Berlin and Brandenburg

Berlin has a very close relationship with its outer conurbation. Many inhabitants of the city’s affluent suburbs commute into the capital every day for work – and more than a few travel in the opposite direction as well. And indeed, many of Berlin’s inhabitants are continuing the trend of relocating to the charming countryside beyond the vibrant metropolis, probably in part because of rising living costs: in 2015, more than 22,000 Berliners moved to the commuter belt – in contrast, somewhere in the region of 13,000 inhabitants of the outer conurbation moved to Berlin. Meanwhile, some of the municipalities of Brandenburg which are closest to Berlin have achieved almost full employment. In fact, at 8.7 percent, unemployment in Brandenburg is even quite lower than in Berlin. The economic magnetism of the conurbation is considerable, and reaches out into the furthest – generally rural – corners of Brandenburg, and even across its borders.
