in order to ensure the company's sustainable profits, BASF's management formulated an austerity plan in November 2018, that is, from the end of 2021, the austerity policy should contribute 2billion euros to BASF's pre tax operating profit. The realization method is mainly to save production, logistics and R & D costs. In addition, BASF will sell some business coatings

BASF's largest customer group on June 19 was the automotive industry, accounting for about 20% of its sales. At the beginning of the year, BASF predicted that the automobile industry would rebound slightly. However, by the end of last year, Chinese customers' demand for the automotive industry had dropped significantly. So far, BASF expects that the company's sales will increase by 5% in 2019, and the adjusted operating profit (EBIT) is expected to increase by 1% to 10%. Moreover, the 1% growth rate seems closer to reality

In the future, the "acquisition of other businesses" and other matters will be carried out more cautiously
