In 2025, the BASF Group is planning capital expenditures of around €5.0 billion (additions to property, plant and equipment excluding acquisitions, IT investments, restoration obligations and right-of-use assets arising from leases). For the four-year period from 2025 to 2028, we are planning capital expenditures totaling €16.2 billion, including around €3.0 billion for the new Verbund site in China. The investment volume in the next four years will thus be considerably below that of the planning period 2024 to 2027 (€19.5 billion).
