tHE EConomiC REgion oF ColognE in FiguRES

The cities of Cologne and Leverkusen and the three districts of Oberberg, Rhein-Berg and Rhein-Erft make up the region of the Cologne Chamber of Commerce and Industry.With its high business potential, skilled work-force and the purchasing power of its 2.2 million inhabitants, this economic region’s impact extends far beyond its borders. A densetransport network of highways, railways, water ways and air routes ensures that Cologne is one of the major hubs in Europe. At the same time, business is extremely versatile here.There is a productive blend of large, medium-sized and small companies and a healthy mix of different sectors. The diversity ranges from automotive and mechanical engineering to chemicals and biotechnology, from insurance companies and trade to ICT-companies and the media.

The main data for the Cologne economic region has been compiled by CCI Cologne in this brochure. It contains the current population statistics for county boroughs and ruraldistricts as well as a breakdown of the approx. 150,000 companies within the CCI region by figures and sectors. The brochure provides information on the development of the major industrial sectors as well as their export sales. Information on tourism, business rents and public finances, employment and training complete the spectrum.

The business climate indicators are deduced from the balance of relative shares of the affirmative and negative answers of companies within the context of thebusiness cycle survey conducted by the CCI Cologne. The indicator values can lie between minus 100 and plus 100 percentage points. A positive indicator valuemeans that the share of affirmative answers is greater than the share of negatives. With a value below zero the proportional share of negative answers predomi-nates. Cf. www.ihk-koeln.de, section: Standortpolitik/Konjunktur. Source: CCI Cologne. Status: January 2015.
