Germany’s upcoming elections should to be a turning point for economic policy. It is time for a growth agenda. The country has a chronic lack of investment in education, infrastructure (including digital infrastructure) and the military. The government needs to deregulate, throw the ‘Schuldenbremse’ (debt brake) into the bin, run a higher budget deficit and possibly cut benefits in order to be able to invest. A pro-growth fiscal agenda and deregulation should brighten Germany’s future!
