09.09.2026 - “Germany's economic position is under significant pressure. The national and international challenges are immense. Tens of thousands of industrial jobs are being lost, insolvencies are reaching record levels, companies are relocating abroad, and growth has been stagnant for years.

This is why the Federal Government must set all tracks towards growth and consistently implement the reform course initiated. Less debt, cheaper energy, less bureaucracy, faster procedures, and more entrepreneurial freedom. Anyone who delays reforms endangers prosperity, competitiveness, and trust in our democratic institutions.

Given record-high tax revenues, the Bundestag should use the upcoming consultations to thoroughly review all expenses and comb through the budget for savings. At the same time, measures need to be strengthened to enable companies to invest more in Germany.

Growth is the best program for confidence and satisfaction in the country. The key to this is reforms that open up new perspectives for the economy. This course must definitely be pursued further. For this, Germany needs an effective and united Federal Government. Unity and determination are crucial. For Germany's position as a location, stagnation is currently the greatest risk. The economy will constructively support necessary decisions.”
