Christopher Porter: „Deutschland macht einen Schritt aus der Stagnation“
Der neue Chef der US-Handelskammer erläutert, wie die deutsche Wirtschaft wieder nachhaltig wachsen kann – und warnt vor den Plänen der Linken für Berlin.
Christopher Porter, Amcham's new Germany head, stated that Germany is making progress out of stagnation. However, he emphasized that sustainable, structural growth is needed. The current growth does not meet this criterion as it cannot be financed by tax revenues, but rather through mobilization of private capital, such as improving consumption and driving growth through investments.
Porter advised the coalition to stick to the economic recovery without being distracted by the growth, insisting that one-percent growth is better than zero growth. The rent of the "Aktienrente" (equity pension) would make savings flow into the European capital market, activating investment in German companies and positively affecting competitiveness and growth.
Despite 50 percent of surveyed firms expecting the situation to worsen in the next twelve months, Porter remained optimistic about Germany's prospects.
