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.
Issue 05/26:
The economy is losing patience
‘A strong country needs strong, effective policies – and for that, it needs a strong economy as its foundation,’ warns employers' association president Dulger in his latest statement. He warns: ‘The Iran conflict shows how vulnerable our location is. Although the economic impact of the fighting in Iran on Europe and Germany has been limited so far, that could change at any time.’
Germany's employment administration structure is the topic of the week. The focus is on the fact that municipal job centres are less likely to place people in jobs subject to social insurance contributions than the joint institutions of local authorities and the Federal Employment Agency. Arndt G. Kirchhoff, president of the North Rhine-Westphalia Association of Business Associations, laments the lack of economic growth in his commentary. His demand: to finally take the concerns of businesses seriously.
You can read about these and other topics in the current BDA agenda.
