Expert warns: AfD economic policy endangers Germany's prosperity

According to a report by web.de, the German Economic Institute (IW) warns of the consequences of the AfD's economic policy. The head of the IW's Berlin office, Knut Bergmann, emphasized that the AfD is not a party for small people and that top earners in particular would benefit from its tax plans. He also warned of the negative consequences of Germany's possible exit from the EU, which would lead to an enormous loss of prosperity and the loss of jobs.

From a financial expert's perspective, it is important to note that, according to Bergmann, Germany's exit from the EU would lead to a loss of 400 to 500 billion euros annually, which corresponds to a loss of prosperity of around ten percent of economic output. In addition, around 2.2 million jobs would be at risk, which could have a significant impact on the labor market and the economy as a whole. In addition, the difficulty of attracting foreign skilled workers in AfD strongholds could lead to bottlenecks in certain sectors and affect economic growth.

These warnings from the IW expert pose potential risks for the German market and the financial industry. Leaving the EU would have far-reaching consequences for economic performance, the labor market and trade relations. Financial experts should pay close attention to the development of the political debate and include the possible risks of leaving the EU in their analyses. The uncertainty that could arise from discussions about a possible exit could also lead to increased volatility in financial markets. It is therefore important to carefully monitor political developments and incorporate potential risks into financial planning and investment strategies.
