High inflation weighs on opinion reporters - demands on Bremen's economic policy

According to a report from www.butenunbinnen.de,

Inflation is affecting many opinion reporters. Money is tight. They are also concerned about the situation of companies. Many criticize the Senate's economic policy. Half of the Radio Bremen opinion reporters (50 percent) feel “strongly” or at least “rather heavily” financially burdened by inflation. According to many respondents, the increased food prices and energy costs are particularly difficult. Companies in the state of Bremen also suffer from the effects of inflation, especially from the shortage of skilled workers and energy costs. Shortly before the Bremen state election, many Radio Bremen opinion reporters are dissatisfied with Bremen's economic policy and are primarily calling for measures to relieve the burden on low incomes, training and further education opportunities and a climate-friendly economy.

Inflation and increased food prices are putting a strain on many private individuals and companies in Bremen. The increased energy costs and the shortage of skilled workers bring additional challenges for companies. The inadequately evaluated state relief packages do not contribute to sufficient alleviation of the financial burden. This could lead to citizens and companies in Bremen being able to spend less money, which could have a negative impact on the local market. It is therefore important that the next Bremen state government takes measures to relieve the burden on low incomes, to promote training and further education opportunities and to support a climate-friendly economy in order to stabilize the economic situation in Bremen. With a view to the upcoming election, political decision-makers should take the demands and needs of the population and local companies seriously and develop appropriate solutions.
