Chamber Meeting: "Perspektiven nach der Wahl • Forderungen und Einschätzungen der Deutschen Wirtschaft" Eric Schweitzer
The economic situation in Germany is good - without question. But the companies are worried about whether it will stay that way. In many important areas of the future, companies are registering more standstill than departure. The future government coalition should actively address key issues for the future. Eric Schweitzer as President of the Association of German Chambers of Industry and Commerce (DIHK), one of the largest German business associations, highlights what this means from the perspective of German business.
