In this podcast, our experts assess the results of the German federal elections held on Sunday, 23 February.
The new government faces considerable domestic headwinds, with a challenging economic outlook, waning international competitiveness, and significant investment needed to stimulate growth. Our experts discuss how the new government might tackle these challenges and the outlook for the business environment in Germany. On the international stage, we will also explore what a new government means for Germany’s foreign and defence policy, its position in the EU, and its relationship with the new Trump administration. Finally, we will set out what comes next after the elections, from the process of coalition building to the formation of a new government and appointment of a new Chancellor.
