BDI Chief Executive Tanja Gönner emphasized the urgency for decisive structural reforms, warning that the current economic pressure on Germany is unprecedented since World War II. Leading research institutes predict a mere 0.6% GDP growth by 2026, highlighting the detrimental impact of rising oil and gas prices. Gönner advocates for prioritizing measures that enhance growth and private investment, while calling for bipartisan cooperation to effectively address labor market challenges and social insurance reforms.
