Bundeskanzler: Merz erklärt mehr „Wachstum und Beschäftigung“ zu obersten Prioritäten

Berlin - Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) has announced a heightened focus on the economy, declaring "in Germany it is all about growth and employment," according to "Bild am Sonntag." Merz emphasized the need for increased pace in the legislative procedures for the reforms implemented earlier this summer on taxes, pensions, de-bureaucratization, and digitalization.

He expressed confidence that these changes could be swiftly and comprehensively implemented, specifically aimed at providing rapid relief for the economy, particularly for the skilled trades and small and medium-sized enterprises. Merz is set to convene with his ministers at Schloss Neuhardenberg in Brandenburg, Germany, on Tuesday and Wednesday, where discussions with unnamed officials are expected, including Siemens CEO Roland Busch, and representatives from Visionaries Club and Ark Software, both involved in developing digital programs for municipalities.
