I want to create some kind of portfolio chart for purchasing.
The x-axis shall show the supply risk.
The bubble size will be defined by the purchasing volume of the product
category.

Is this like a BCG, or "Boston Consulting Group" chart? Have you seen Ed
Ferrero's implementation? It may give you some ideas.

(However, Ed's Excel chart site seems to be down at the present time)

How do I use the text "high risk", "low risk", "high costs" and "low costs"
as description of the axis. At the moment it automatically creates me figures
there.

Create a bubble range with invisible bubbles, placed where you want the
text to be, then customise the labels to read the text required. Use
this as an example:

Here, I used labelled invisible bubbles to create the "axis labels" KPC
1, Company A etc.
