Germany
The text discusses a survey by the Bundesbank showing that nearly 70% of companies see government regulation as a major problem, up from 45% in 2022. Businesses spend 7% of turnover on compliance, and bureaucracy heavily impacts banks and insurers, consuming nearly 10% of their revenue. This paperwork leads to lower productivity.
Infact verdict: Mostly True (69/100).
The claims regarding the Bundesbank survey and the percentage of companies considering regulation a major problem are supported by evidence. The claim about businesses spending 7% of turnover on compliance is corroborated by multiple sources. The statement about bureaucracy consuming nearly 10% of banks' and insurers' revenue is also supported by evidence. However, the claim about lower productivity due to paperwork lacks direct evidence and is more of a logical assertion.
