Economic policy: Merz promotes optimism – and now has to deliver on pensions
At the "Made for Germany" initiative, the Chancellor looks at the economy with pronounced optimism, also thanks to the nursing reform. But seconds later, it's already about the probably even greater challenge.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz expressed optimism about the country's economy, describing Germany as the "best investment location in the world". This positivity follows a debate with a group of business leaders from the "Made for Germany" initiative, which aims to strengthen Germany's economic position. The initiative, led by Christian Sewing of Deutsche Bank and Roland Busch of Siemens, has grown to 139 members, who have pledged 800 billion euros in investments.
Merz appeared revitalized, contrasting with his recent struggles, as he stood alongside Sewing and Busch at the Siemens location in Berlin.
