Spanish business magazine Revista Consejeros has published an interview with Christian Dustmann on the economic challenges facing Germany and the implications of the upcoming elections. The article, titled “Estas elecciones decidirán cuánto Estado social queremos y podemos permitirnos” (These elections will decide how much social welfare we want and can afford), explores the need for long-term economic planning and stability amid industrial transformation and global competition.
Dustmann highlights that Germany is at a critical juncture, facing the end of its traditional export-driven growth, rising competition from Asia, and ongoing challenges in the automotive sector. He argues that while the previous government introduced meaningful reforms, internal disputes over debt policy and economic direction created uncertainty. He emphasizes that clear policies, strategic investment, and innovation are essential to maintaining Germany’s economic strength.
Despite concerns about political instability, Dustmann remains cautiously optimistic, noting that Germany has the potential to adapt and redefine its economic model to meet future challenges. He stresses that a government capable of long-term economic planning and stability will be key in shaping Germany’s role in Europe and the global economy.
