Study

Departure from the Schengen Agreement

The long-term reintroduction of border controls within Europe would reduce economic growth throughout Europe. Up to the year 2025 for Germany alone a decline in growth can be expected amounting to a minimum of 77 billions from 2016 to 2025. In a pessimistic scenario these losses could even sum up to about 235 billion euros within the next 10 years. These are the results of a current study by Prognos AG on behalf of the Bertelsmann Stiftung.

If the withdrawal were to go ahead, the business leaders predict numerous negative effects for national labor markets as well as for revenues and investments within their own sectors and businesses. Those are the findings from a recent survey by the British Economist Intelligence Unit, carried out on behalf of the Bertelsmann Stiftung.
