Business Survey 2022
Financing environment is recovering from the coronavirus crisis – sustainability is gaining in importance
After a notable deterioration of the financing environment in the coronavirus crisis, the situation eased again slightly for businesses last year. These are the findings of the Business Survey 2022 which KfW has conducted together with 17 umbrella organisations as well as professional and regional business associations. The worsening economic situation and an increasingly tighter monetary policy as a result of the Ukraine crisis now pose new challenges for corporate finance.
Transitioning to a sustainable and climate-neutral economy continues to be an urgent task. The results of the survey show that sustainability is becoming increasingly important for businesses. The issue already plays a role in many loan negotiations as well. Lack of funds and human resources are the main barriers preventing businesses from stepping up their commitment to more sustainability.
