US EditionMerz’s Coalition Agrees on Policy Program Aimed at Boosting Germany’s Economy
- Germany's coalition government agreed on a policy program three weeks after taking office to boost the economy by lowering electricity prices and increasing investments.
- The program responds to obstacles like high energy costs and low current investment, though rapid mood changes by summer remain uncertain due to potential conflicts.
- The coalition also aims to reduce bureaucracy and insists on quick, undisputed project implementation to transform announced plans into action.
- Officials noted that electricity price reductions and commuter allowances will take time to affect households and warned that 'conflict, disruptive maneuvers and self-promotion' could undermine progress.
- If the coalition maintains cohesion, the ambitious program could significantly improve Germany's economic conditions and meet the promised change in public sentiment.
