Economic Challenges: Exportmodell am Ende: Warum Deutschlands Wirtschaft keinen Strukturbruch verträgt

Sechs Jahre ohne Wachstum, Industrieproduktion zehn Prozent unter Vorkrisenniveau, Wachstumsimpulse nur noch vom Staat: Rürup und Hüther diskutieren, ob Deutschlands Geschäftsmodell eine Zukunft hat.

Economic Challenges: Exportmodell am Ende: Warum Deutschlands Wirtschaft keinen Strukturbruch verträgt

Germany's economy remains stagnant, with overall economic performance effectively at the 2019 level. This sluggish growth is primarily driven by state-owned wealth and defense spending, according to Bert Rürup, chief economist at Handelsblatt. Rürup expresses pessimism, stating that "the business model of the German economy has seen its best years."

Michael Hüther, president of the Institute of the German Economy, largely agrees but notes that industrial value creation has remained stable despite declining production. The key question remains: Is this a temporary phenomenon or a permanent structural break? Rürup and Hüther discuss this in an exclusive podcast for Handelsblatt Economic Challenges listeners.
