In a recent interview with the Atlantic Council, BWC Member Martin Mühleisen discusses challenges facing Germany’s economic model in conversation with Jochen Andritzky, a German economic executive. He notes that reform debates are often pushed to the back burner by short-term politics and vested interests, even as structural barriers become more apparent. He emphasizes the need for more serious policy discussion and difficult tradeoffs to ensure long-term competitiveness.
