Federal Chancellor: Merz declares more "growth and employment" to be top priorities
The Chancellor is back from summer vacation and will meet with his newly assembled cabinet starting on Tuesday. Merz is already setting the direction for the meeting.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has announced a stronger focus on the economy. He stated that growth and employment are the most important issues in Germany. Merz wants to accelerate the implementation of reforms on taxes, pensions, deregulation, and digitalization that were agreed upon before the summer break. He will discuss this with his ministers at a cabinet retreat in Neuhardenberg, Brandenburg, where he will also meet with guests from the business world, including Siemens CEO Roland Busch and craft association president Jörg Dittrich.
