Delivery delays, failed supply chains and a 31 per cent increase in import prices in March are also weighing on the import side. On the export side, there is also the fact that <strong>the global uncertainty is also leading to a slump in demand on foreign markets<\/strong>. Exports to China have also fallen recently.<\/p><blockquote><p>\u201eIn this situation, companies are looking for new suppliers in order to be able to fulfil order books that are still full. For the majority of companies, however, it is not possible to replace suppliers at short notice. Furthermore<strong> high energy prices are a particular burden on competitiveness.<\/strong> Of course, the move towards a climate-neutral economy should be maintained. Nevertheless, the German government should refrain from imposing further burdens on supply chains through additional bureaucracy at this time and drive forward the diversification of supply chains through new trade agreements.\u201c<\/p><p><strong>Dr Dirk Jandura<\/strong>, President of the Federal Association of Wholesale, Foreign Trade and Services (<a href=\"https:\/\/bga.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BGA<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote><p>The Federal Statistical Office published the foreign trade figures for March 2022 today.
