SMEs intend to invest

Currently 75 percent of the SMEs are currently preparing for some kind of investment. This is the best data since 2007.

The intention is even stronger for medium-sized companies, as 9 out of 10 of them are planning to develop, according to the latest data of the K&H SME Trust Index. With regard to the goals, production investments are at the center, as most of the machines and equipment will be upgraded, ahead of the IT and vehicle fleet developments.
