Government under pressure: IHK demands quick action for companies!
The East Westphalia Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK) has welcomed the start of work by the new federal government and sees an urgent need for action. IHK President Jörn Wahl-Schwentker emphasizes the need for planning security for companies and people, while the IHK assesses the current situation as serious. It is pointed out that Germany cannot afford to be stuck and that quick decisions are needed to stimulate the economy and secure jobs.
Friedrich Merz, who achieved the required majority in the second round of voting, is seen as a warning signal. The IHK is calling for measures on important issues such as taxes, digitalization, rapid approval procedures and the reduction of bureaucracy in order to regain the trust of companies and prove the government's ability to act dihk.de reported.
Demands to promote the economy
In the first 100 days of the new legislative period, the IHK sees an opportunity for the government to send a signal of growth to the economy through budgetary reliability. A 100-day program formulated by the DIHK points out several challenges that need to be overcome. These include high bureaucracy, high energy costs and a tax system that is hostile to investment.
The DIHK proposes various measures to improve the situation, including reducing bureaucracy and speeding up procedures, competitive energy prices and tax incentives for investments. In addition, support for digitalization and the securing of skilled workers are required in order to enable companies in Germany to develop positively. A quick adoption of the 2025 federal budget and the introduction of a law on the debt-financed infrastructure fund are seen as the first steps.
