Economy: Germany's managers are dissatisfied with Merz - and yet have hope
New poll data shows that pessimism among executives is dwindling. They see increasingly more growth for their own companies - despite distrust of Berlin.
German company leaders are largely dissatisfied with the work of the federal government under Chancellor Friedrich Merz, with 80 percent saying they are somewhat or very unhappy. However, this dissatisfaction has eased somewhat compared to a few months ago. In contrast, managers are increasingly positive about their own company's economic situation. These findings come from a survey of 5000 executives conducted by Civey on behalf of Handelsblatt between May and August.
