Germany’s capital, Berlin, is by far the biggest city in the country. Berlin’s economic weight is determined by its political significance as the capital of the largest country in Western Europe, with a population of 80 million. Although Berlin has below-average purchasing power and centrality, it is nevertheless one of the most popular places in Germany for national and international retailers. According to the GfK market research institute, Berlin’s retail sales amounted to approximately 16.57 billion euros in 2010.
