18/03/2025 - "A tremendous responsibility now lies in the hands of politicians: this financial package can be an opportunity – one that is crucial for the long-needed economic growth and our competitiveness. To achieve this, billions must be spent wisely and efficiently. Failure to do so may result in this massive debt becoming a huge risk. What is certain is that our economy must grow faster in the medium term than debts and interest."

In coalition negotiations, the CDU/CSU and SPD now need to be concrete. This debt package can only work if the new government addresses structural problems in our country head-on and implements urgently needed reforms – otherwise, the money will just vanish. Painfully lengthy approval processes, outdated administrations, dilapidated infrastructure, high taxes, and paralyzing bureaucracy must finally become a thing of the past. Entrepreneurs need more freedom once again to be broadly successful. What's needed is reliable economic policy. Global economic dynamics won't wait for us. We must regain our strength to stay ahead. We cannot afford to let this opportunity slip away."
