Dr. Rainer Dulger, Employer President
I want this country to remain successful, innovative and prosperous.
And to achieve this, politicians must finally focus on Germany as a business location and our competitiveness.
BDA Newsletter 13/26:
We will all have to work more and for longer
Employers’ President Dulger emphasised that, following the constructive meeting at the Chancellor’s Office, concrete reforms must now follow. Germany needs tangible relief for businesses, lower social security contributions, greater labour market flexibility and less bureaucracy in order to secure growth and employment.
This week’s feature focuses on the Pensions Commission. While it provides important impetus, it falls short of what is needed when it comes to stabilising contribution rates. Additional reforms and reduced burdens would be necessary. Conclusion: Good approaches — but not yet sufficient to deliver sustainable relief.

Committed to Europe – in Berlin and Brussels.
