Germany’s New Economy Minister Pushes Bold Reforms for Global Competitiveness

Germany’s new Economy Minister, Katharina Reiche, has called for urgent policy changes to boost sustainable growth in the global economy. A member of the CDU, she took office in May 2025 and is pushing for reforms to strengthen the country’s economic position in the tough global climate.

Reiche has made it clear that competitiveness must improve if Germany is to keep pace with other global entry nations. She warns that without stronger measures, the country risks falling behind in the global race. Her priorities include reducing bureaucracy, cutting costs for workers, and encouraging free competition.

She also insists that those who invest in Germany—or work hard within its global economy—should see real rewards for their efforts. Innovation and fair market conditions are central to her plans. By placing growth and competitiveness at the top of the political agenda, she aims to create a more dynamic and resilient economic environment.

Reiche’s proposals focus on easing burdens for businesses and workers while promoting competition and new ideas. The goal is to ensure that Germany remains a strong player in the global economy. Her policies will now face scrutiny as lawmakers and industries respond to the proposed changes.
