Keynote speaker: Achim Wambach | ZEW – Leibniz Centre for European Economic Research
TOPICS:
- Germany’s economy has been losing momentum for years. Labour shortages, high taxes, and heavy regulation are eroding its competitiveness.
- Energy-intensive industries are shrinking, weakening Germany’s industrial core. Slowing globalization is hurting its export sectors.
- Germany’s stagnation matters for Europe: how are its neighbours affected through trade and supply chains?
- What prospects remain for renewed growth — and what could revive them?
