A survey of 3 500 companies in Germany has found that 16 percent of them are cutting production, or partially discontinuing business operations, due to soaring energy prices.
“These are alarming figures,” said Peter Adrian, president of the Chambers of Industry and Commerce which made the study. “They show how permanently high energy prices are a burden,” he added.
