California will surpass Germany to become the fourth largest economy in the world.

California is almost there. It is going to take Germany's place as the fourth largest economy in the world. The Golden State shines. Its strength in technology, media, and renewable energy seems unstoppable.

Germany is going downhill. Unstable politics. Industry is falling. Fewer workers. It doesn't look good. By 2025, California will likely leave behind the German GDP.

California's GDP reached 4.1 trillion dollars in 2024. It surpassed Japan. It continues to grow. A per capita GDP of 131,000 dollars in 2023... impressive. It represents about 14.5% of the U.S. economic pie. And Germany... well, its forecasts are somewhat gloomy.

California dominates with technology and employment

The magic of California lies in reinventing itself. It has giants like Alphabet, Apple, and Visa. They don't just survive. They thrive. Their revenues are skyrocketing. And it seems they will continue to grow this year.

They convert 100 dollars into 49 in profits. Pure efficiency. German companies don't even come close. Employment in California grows month after month. Thousands of new jobs.

Germany is losing jobs. Many cuts. People are spending less. Everything is slowing down. San Francisco represents 78% of California's stock market value. It used to be 70%. Big increase.

Germany is drowning in problems

The German problems are deep. It's not just the economy. Political chaos since the fall of Scholz's government. Elections in February 2025. In the meantime, provisional budget. Nothing definitive.

The war in Ukraine exposed Germany. More expensive energy. Broken supply chains. The industry suffers. Sectors like health or consumer goods barely grow.

California, on the other hand... Hardware, media, software. Everything is exploding upwards.

Those who predicted the exodus of California companies during COVID were completely wrong. Innovative hubs are flourishing. San Francisco has 62% more listed companies than in 2018. Incredible.
