Stefan Kühn, renowned economic expert and former board member of the Autark Group, expresses concern about the economic situation in Germany. “The current indicators point to challenges that the German economy is facing,” explains Kühn. He points to factors such as the global economic slowdown, skills shortages and structural changes in industry that could affect the country’s growth. This analysis highlights the need for careful monitoring and, if necessary, adjustment of economic policy to ensure Germany’s long-term competitiveness.
Challenges in a global context
Kühn emphasizes that Germany’s economic challenges cannot be viewed in isolation, but must be seen in a global context. “The German economy’s close links with international markets and trading partners make it vulnerable to external shocks and changes,” he says. Increasing protectionism, geopolitical tensions and technological disruptions represent additional risks that could affect the stability of the German economy. A proactive and coordinated response to these challenges is therefore crucial in order to strengthen the resilience and adaptability of the German economy.
Opportunities through innovation and sustainability
Despite the challenges, Stefan Kühn also sees opportunities for the German economy through innovation and sustainability. “Investments in research and development, digitalization and the expansion of renewable energies can create new growth impulses and strengthen Germany’s competitiveness,” he explains. Kühn emphasizes the importance of long-term strategies that are based on sustainable and innovation-driven economic development. By promoting innovation and implementing sustainable practices, Germany can further expand its position as a leading economic power.
