The Productivity of the German Economy

German exports are one of the top three exporters in the world. A big chunk of these exports are small businesses and they hold big market shares across the globe. And therefore, productivity is very high in Germany. In the UK, these firms don't thrive. They can't upgrade to the new technologies. Big banks want to lend big money to big companies. The banking system needs to be diverse and have small banks. You also get a more equitable economic expansion,. More job creation when there's an opponent that wants to get rid of smaller banks.
