Germany's Economic Adviser Slams Government for Ignoring Expert Advice
Gabriel Felbermayr, a new member of Germany’s Council of Economic Experts, has spoken out against the government’s handling of economic policy. He claims officials are failing to act on expert advice, leaving businesses without clear direction. Felbermayr recently took up his role on the council, which advises the federal government on macroeconomic trends. While he noted some positive signals from individual policymakers, he criticised the lack of consistent action. Many proposed reforms, he argued, are acknowledged but rarely implemented.
His main concern is the absence of a clear economic strategy. Without it, businesses struggle to plan ahead. Felbermayr also accused the administration of not taking economic expertise seriously enough.
The economist’s remarks highlight a gap between policy discussions and real-world decisions. His criticism suggests that without stronger engagement with expert recommendations, Germany’s economic challenges could persist.
