Hamburg's CDU presents its plan to strengthen the economy and relies on ideology-free pragmatism

The Hamburg CDU has drawn up an eleven-point plan for its economic policy in order to sharpen its profile in this area. The party emphasizes the importance of the social market economy and climate protection for Hamburg's future and prosperity. The aim is, among other things, to create new areas for trade and industry, to enable cheaper electricity for industrial companies and to expand the port into a northern European energy port. Furthermore, no further apartments are to be built in the port area and more parking spaces are to be made available for tradesmen and companies.

The CDU criticizes the red-green Senate for not shaping economic policy, but only managing it. The key motion for the next CDU state party conference is intended to serve as preparatory work for the election program for the 2025 general election.

The Hamburg CDU's plan to strengthen economic policy can have various effects. The expansion of the port into an energy port could mean an increase in economic activity in this area and thus lead to more jobs and investments. The creation of new areas for business and industry could also contribute to further growth of the economic sector in Hamburg. Providing cheaper electricity to industrial companies could ease the burden on them across all sectors and improve their competitiveness.

However, it remains to be seen to what extent the CDU's eleven-point plan will be implemented and what specific effects it will actually have. It is also important to note that policies typically take time to have their full impact. Therefore, possible effects on the market and the financial sector should be viewed in the long term.
