The competitiveness gains are also connected to the single currency’s introduction in 1999. By locking the whole eurozone into the same monetary policy, the euro has given many German manufacturers a big advantage against competitors in nations such as France, Italy and Spain that have lacked the ability to devalue to restore business competitiveness.

Also, German companies benefited from labour market reforms introduced in the early 2000s while also reaping the rewards of years of development of industrial technologies in areas such as mechanical engineering, automation and metallurgy.

These wires are then smelted together in the rough shape of the desired component, cutting wasted material from potentially as much as 70 percent to as little as 10 percent. said Germany-based carmakers had benefited from “enormous gains” in labour competitiveness, aided by the euro.

The UBS figures define western Europe as all parts of Europe excluding the former communist bloc and Turkey. Across the continent, much of the automotive industry is in crisis, with European car sales likely to be down by a fifth this year compared with 2007.

The solid performance of German factories has helped lift the profits of the country’s big carmakers.
