Issue 3/25:
Strong economy, strong country
Pension cuts ruled out: Pensions continue to rise - even without a minimum pension level
The Bundestag elections are ten days away - Employers' President Dr. Rainer Dulger reaffirms the employers' motto: Strong economy, strong country and explains what steps are necessary for Germany to become a leader again. In the topic of the week, we take a look at the important election campaign topic of pensions - and debunk the myth of stable pensions and guaranteed pension levels. The fact is that pensions will rise by an average of 2.6% per year, even without a minimum pension level.
You can read about these and other topics in the current BDA agenda.
