Speech by Christine Lagarde, President of the ECB, at the “Jahresimpuls Mittelstand 2021” of Bundesverband Mittelständische Wirtschaft

At the ECB we care deeply about connecting with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), since they are the foundation of the European economy.
SMEs make up 99.8% of all non-financial companies in the EU, provide 66.6% of jobs and generate 56.4% of added value.
[1] It is decisions by companies like yours to invest, hire and innovate that put the European economy on a path to growth.
But in Germany, being part of the Mittelstand hasa special quality that is about much more than the firms size.
As Ludwig Erhard said, what defines the Mittelstand is eine Gesinnung und eine Haltung[2], how one acts and behaves in society.
Of the 2,700 hidden champions worldwide SMEs that are leaders in niche markets almost half are part of the German Mittelstand.
The Mittelstand was central to the countrys Wirtschaftswunder after the Second World War.
And, when we rebound from the shock of the pandemic, the Mittelstand will have to be one of the drivers once again.
Its effects have hit activity extremely hard, with GDP falling by 6.8% in the euro area last year and 5% in Germany.
For now, however, the pandemic is still weighing heavily on our economies, and especially on firms in the services sector.
In this setting, it is crucial that the bridge for SMEs remains in place for as long as needed.
And this, in turn, is the best contribution we can make to delivering on our mandate of price stability.
