Why Affected Industries Cannot Protect Their Interests
Why business owners in affected industries are not taking “diplomatic measures”; why they are not publicly defending their interests and lobbying them by all means available.
A question that an outside observer may have is why business owners in affected industries are not taking “diplomatic measures”; why they are not publicly defending their interests and lobbying them by all means available. Farmers blockading the border in Poland or spreading manure on highways in France and Germany are probably the only exception.
First, the ability to act in personal capacity is constrained for large businesses that are part of conglomerates. The majority of shares in these companies are held by institutional and private investors who diversify their portfolios. The decrease in profitability in chemistry and metallurgy is offset by investments in the military-industrial complex.

An analysis of BASF’s shareholder structure revealed that the United States and Canada represent the largest regional grouping of institutional investors, accounting for 18% of the total share capital. Institutional investors from the United Kingdom and Ireland hold 6% of BASF shares, while 11% are held by investors from other European countries. The share held by institutional investors from Germany stands at only 5%, while those from other countries worldwide, including the Asia-Pacific region, account for 3%. Approximately 47% of shares are owned by private investors, most of whom are based in Germany, but they do not possess the ability to form a consolidated position.
Additionally, concerns are diversifying their activities geographically in order to reduce reliance on a single region. Top management has prioritized this objective, recognizing that a decline in revenue from one region, in this case Europe, necessitates a shift in focus to other regions such as the United States, the Middle East, or China.
Finally, small and medium-sized enterprises with limited access to financial resources and a more limited field of operations are the first to become insolvent. Larger companies (including multinational ones) are taking advantage of the opportunity to acquire assets.
Therefore, large businesses and institutional investors are adjusting to the current situation and creating opportunities to generate income. The current conflict environment is becoming stable and a new normality. And transition to a state of peace would mean additional stress and, potentially, a crisis for those industries that are currently generating huge profits.
