After the German elections on February 23, a new governing coalition will face a range of top-tier economic policy challenges. These include the future of the country’s economic model faced with competition from China and more coercive U.S. trade policies, how to incentivize domestic investment while maintaining a balanced fiscal framework, and Germany’s role in a European Union whose competitiveness will require greater integration in areas like finance, defense, and energy.

This webinar will examine not only what is likely to change in German domestic economic policies, but also what role Germany will play at the EU level and in the transatlantic relationship to promote its prosperity and global economic interests.
