History

ElsalvadorEmbassy.jpg

Besides the German Embassy, the following German institutions are active in Nicaragua: the German-Nicaraguan Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the bilingual German School, the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), the KfW Development Bank and the Friedrich Ebert Foundation. Since the 1980s, 43 town twinning arrangements have been in place between Nicaragua and Germany, making an important contribution to bilateral relations. In addition, more than 20 German non-governmental organisations are in operation in Nicaragua. There are close historical ties between the two countries, especially through German immigration during the 19th century. This German influence can be felt even today, particularly in the coffee-growing region in northern Nicaragua. There are some 1,000 German nationals living in Nicaragua and several hundred Nicaraguans in Germany.

Trade between the two countries is developing slowly but steadily. In 2014, it was worth just under EUR 90 million, making Germany one of Nicaragua’s principal European trading partners. Nicaragua’s main exports to Germany are agricultural products and its main imports are manufactured goods. Nicaragua records a negative balance of trade with Germany. A German-Nicaraguan investment protection and promotion agreement has been in place since 2001.

A growing number of German tourists are discovering the land of lakes and volcanoes as a holiday destination. Around 16,000 Germans currently visit Nicaragua every year. The German companies Ritter Sport and Dräxlmaier are among Nicaragua’s biggest employers.
