Hanover (dpa / lni) - What are the consequences of the corona restrictions for business and the prospects of the 100 largest companies in Lower Saxony?
NordLB is investigating this question today (10.30 a.m.) when presenting its annual ranking of the most important companies in the country.
The impact of the pandemic on the economy should be a supplementary topic this time as part of the analysis that the bank traditionally presents before the end of the year, NordLB explained in advance in Hanover.
Among other things, CEO Thomas Bürkle and chief economist Christian Lips want to give their assessments.
In the 2019 edition, the companies in Lower Saxony with the highest turnover showed little growth compared to the previous year.
An economic slowdown could already be felt.
In places one to four, everything remained unchanged recently: VW, Continental, Tui and Salzgitter AG continued to lead, Volkswagen alone accounted for around 55 percent of the total sales of all companies in the country in 2018. Agricultural trader Agravis and building materials trader Hagebau were in fifth and sixth. If you went according to value added - i.e. the production output minus the value of intermediate goods and intermediate products in a company - the order below the top 3 varied somewhat.
