Economic situation NBG

There is a negative annual result for the current financial year. H.v. – EUR 244.000 planned. In the forecast report, the management points out that there is a high degree of uncertainty regarding the planned results due to the corona pandemic and the war in Ukraine and that it is not currently possible to fully quantify the risks. However, the likelihood of achieving a better annual result is not likely given the cost increases and the slowdown in travel behavior compared to 2019. One reason for the negative result for the planning year is the structurally permanent deficits in the operation of the public tourism facilities, which can no longer be fully compensated for by the profits of the municipal utilities division. Added to this are the significant cost increases in the purchase of consumables, maintenance and investments on the procurement side since the beginning of the Ukraine crisis. A joint meeting with the city council is planned to discuss the economic situation from the perspective of the Stadt-Borkum Group as a whole and to discuss possible solutions.
