But why are conservative and libertarian german politicians try and tell me nobody wants to invest into german companies and everyone with a business and their mom are fleeing Germany with their businesses? They wouldn't be lying, would they? (/s for safety)

Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in [email protected]. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
(This list may get expanded when necessary.)
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the mods: @[email protected], @[email protected], or @[email protected].

Im afraid you mix some things here. This article talks about Foreign investment in Germany. It’s not talking about business environment or business issues of German companies - what the politicians and CEO‘s talking about.
For example, if danish company DSV buys the Deutsche Bahn cargo part, this is a direct investment of a foreign company in Germany. It counts for the figures here. DB Cargo has profit issues and was sold out of that reason. Edit: in 2024.
Heating tech company Viessmann was sold 2023 for 12 billion to US company Carrier Global and will be counted as well as a direct investment.
Sure, even new buildings and factories will be erected and counted in the sum. But it doesn’t tell you, that German economy is well. It might be the opposite and foreign companies are on shopping tour in Germany. However, the numbers can’t tell the background, it tells the volume of transactions only.
Conservative governments destroy public services to the point where they can claim only private investments can save them, then they sell it off. And they won't stop until every public service has been privatised. US lobbying money well invested.
