En analyse fra Prognos viser, at hedebølgen i slutningen af juni kostede den tyske økonomi 6,32 milliarder euro. Eksperter forventer tilbagevendende skader i milliardklassen.

Den tyske økonomi må forberede sig på tilbagevendende skader i milliardklassen som følge af hedebølger. Det har det økonomiske analyseinstitut Prognos beregnet i en analyse for Handelsblatt.

Hedebølgen i slutningen af juni med temperaturer på over 35 grader kostede alene 6,32 milliarder euro. Omkostningerne kan nå op på næsten en milliard euro for hver sådan dag.

Eksperter vurderer, at tre eller fire hedebølger af denne størrelsesorden om året er mulige. De årlige skader kan i så fald overstige 20 milliarder euro.
