The view is forward and with every step we take we are getting closer to our goal a great future for all people living here.

2 Foreword s economy is booming Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, Götz Schleser/SMWA The development of a state sometimes resembles a marathon. After the German reunification the Free State of started out as a newcomer with great ambitions, overtook some and slowed down or accelerated now and then and defied adverse influences. The view is forward and with every step we take we are getting closer to our goal a great future for all people living here. We can be proud of what we have achieved so far: Between 200 and 207 s economic power grew at an above-average rate of 3.8 percent. The gross domestic product per inhabitant has almost quadrupled since 99. Products Made in have been in demand worldwide for years. In 207 we exported goods worth 4.3 billion euros, more than ever! What makes me specially happy is an annual average unemployment rate of 6.7 percent being the lowest since its recording and it continues to improve in terms of trend. Back in 2005 it used to be 8.3 percent. Martin Dulig is the place where the renowned Helmholtz, Leibniz, Fraunhofer and Max Planck Institutes do research in cutting-edge technologies for the future. Premium products are supplied by Saxon companies not only in the fields of microelectronics, automotive industry and mechanical engineering. The craft sector, tourism and service providers form the foundation of small and medium-sized companies being competitive beyond regional borders. In addition, a large number of world-renowned corporations is investing here. To ensure that they continue to find the excellent specialists typical for, we are going to develop together with all stakeholders a new specialists strategy for. It will include, for example, a sustainable career guidance tuned to real-world needs, a more attractive dual training or qualification and advanced training. Come and join us on our path to a future full of new challenges and opportunities. Yours Martin Dulig Saxon State Minister for Economic Affairs, Labour and Transport 03

4 . Basic facts at a glance Prosperity and disposable incomes on the rise With a gross domestic product (GDP) weighted based on to the purchasing power of 27,500 euros per inhabitant the Free State of has now reached 94 percent of the EU average thus ranking ahead of all Central and Eastern European countries. The region of Leipzig has even reached the EU average. Neighboring Poland and the Czech Republic clearly lag behind at 68 percent and 88 percent respectively. Employment rising, unemployment rate declining again In 207 the unemployment rate in was for the seventh year in a row below the EU average. Since 200 it has dropped from.8 to 6.7 percent in 207. In the new federal states it just fell from 2.0 to 7.6 percent. Strong sector of small and medium-sized businesses Craft businesses of about 56,800 companies play a major part in the different sectors, such as the manufacturing industry, building industry as well as trade and services. The density of craft businesses is exceptionally high in : 3.9 businesses per,000 inhabitants is clearly above the German average counting 2. businesses per,000 inhabitants and thus ranking fourth among all federal states. s exports exceeded the threshold of 40 billion euros in 207 Since 200 the exports have risen by about two thirds. In 207 they came up to 4.3 billion euros which is by far the highest amount for and 3 percent higher than the year before. As a result the share of exports in the GDP has risen to 34 percent. With 6 billion euros China has remained by far number one among the buyer countries before the USA with 4.2 billion euros. The imports, too, reached a record high of about 42 percent above the figure of 200. The trade with s direct neighbors has contributed much to the current development. The Czech Republic is by far number one when it comes to imports of about 4.6 billion followed by Poland. The exports to these two countries rank fifth and sixth respectively among major buyer countries together coming up to about 4 billion euros. Top-performing Saxon research and development R&D are key factor for the further development of. The share of R&D expenditure in the GDP has increased by 2 percent between 2000 and 206. Modern and efficient infrastructure A good transport infrastructure provides a major prerequisite for the mobility of people and transport of goods. The road density is clearly above the national average both in terms of area and the number of inhabitants. When it comes to transport by air the volume of 207 has also risen compared to the previous year. The goods transported by air in the new federal states fall almost completely on and in relation to Germany it reaches about 23 percent. High level of investments and declining debt of the state budget. Sound public finances are both a mirror of economic strength and an essential prerequisite for good prospects of a business location. In 207 the Free State spent again a much higher share of the budgetary resources for investments than the other federal states. The investment ratio was 4.8 percent, the new non-city states (excluding ) reached. percent. whereas the old non-city states invested not more than 8.2 percent of their funds. Compared to other federal states has an outstandingly low level of debt thus setting the right course for the future: a sound financial management avoiding new debts to create leeway for current and future investments.
