Traffic light coalition focuses on economic and social policy issues: collective bargaining, pension levels and industrial electricity prices in view.

According to a report by www.hasepost.de, the traffic light coalition plans to focus on economic and social policy issues in the second half of the legislative period. In particular, collective bargaining and pension levels should be strengthened. The Greens want to secure prosperity and reduce dependencies, while the FDP calls for an industrial electricity price and a digital children's opportunities portal. Despite limited financial scope, all three politicians draw a positive interim assessment of the government's work.

Given the change in focus on economic and social policy issues, there may be various effects on the market and the financial sector. Strengthening collective bargaining and limiting pension contribution rates could lead to higher wage costs for companies, which could have a negative impact on their profit margins. However, the demand for an industrial electricity price and the strengthening of competitiveness could have positive effects on energy and industrial companies.

Limiting the pension contribution rate and ensuring a minimum pension level could lead to relief for employees, but at the same time also to higher expenditure for the public sector. In addition, the digitalization of child opportunities policy could have an impact on the financial sector, especially in the area of ​​digital services and financial products for families.

Overall, the change in focus on economic and social policy issues could lead to changes in various sectors and new financing options. However, it remains to be seen how the planned measures will be implemented and what long-term effects they will have on the market.
