Inflation, climate change or energy supply? According to a survey, these are the most important issues facing the federal government in the new year for people in Germany.
According to a survey, the fight against rising consumer prices is one of the most important political tasks in the new year for many. On the other hand, the fight against climate change and supporting the attacked Ukraine are less important to citizens than before.
In a survey by the opinion research institute Insa on behalf of “Bild am Sonntag”, 57 percent stated that combating inflation was one of the most important issues that the federal government must tackle in 2024. However, the value is six percentage points lower than a year ago – inflation has fallen significantly since then.
55 percent of those surveyed also see the creation of affordable housing at the top of the traffic light government’s task list – this value has increased slightly (one percentage point) compared to the previous year. For around half of those surveyed, securing pensions and energy supplies are also very important.
Despite weather extremes and temperature records, fighting climate change is one of the most important issues for slightly fewer people – at 38 percent, it was four percentage points less than in the previous year. Support for Ukraine also fell by six points; only 15 percent of those surveyed see it on the government’s priority list.
