The forecast for mining and quarrying outward FDI stocks in Germany indicates a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, starting at $5.14 billion in 2024 and decreasing to $4.13 billion by 2028. This represents a steady year-on-year decline of approximately 5-6% each year. In 2023, these stocks were at approximately $5.40 billion, indicating a contraction of the sector's outward investment over the projected period. The CAGR over these five years highlights an average annual decline of around 5%, reflecting a significant downturn in external investment commitment from Germany in this sector.

Future trends to watch include:

Potential changes in global market demand for minerals and raw materials, which could impact investment decisions.
Evolving EU and international regulatory environments influencing cross-border investments.
Technological advancements in mining that may alter investment strategies.
Geopolitical or economic shifts that could redirect or discourage FDI outflow in mining from Germany.
