Merz wants to involve economy

Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) was sought to close with top managers at the first meeting of the “Made for Germany” initiative in the Chancellery in July and spoke of one of the greatest investment initiatives in the past decades.

At that time, companies had promised investments of at least 631 billion euros in Germany by 2028, but also requested reforms. Even then, however, it remained unclear how much of it is no longer necessary for new investments that have already been planned.

The increased sum of 735 billion euros includes both planned and new capital investments, expenses for research and development (F&E) as well as commitments from international investors, it was now said. A “three -digit billions of billions” deployed new investments, emphasized the initiative, which had been initiated by Siemens and Deutsche Bank, among others.
