Germany aims to reclaim its position as a leading economic power, Chancellor Friedrich Merz announced Wednesday following a two-day cabinet meeting held at Villa Borsig in Berlin. Addressing reporters, Merz emphasized the government’s ambition to restore Germany’s competitive edge on the global stage.
A key component of this strategy is a newly adopted “Hightech-Agenda” described by the Chancellor as “comprehensive” and “highly beneficial” for the nation’s economy. Details of the agenda are expected to be released shortly, with a focus on fostering innovation and strengthening key technological sectors.
Beyond economic policy, Merz also highlighted a positive working environment within the governing coalition. He characterized the atmosphere as “exceptionally good, collegial and open” emphasizing a “highly collaborative” approach between partners. This cooperative dynamic, he stated, instills confidence in the government’s ability to address forthcoming challenges and achieve its stated goals.
