Germany economic growth has been lagging behind other European countries.
And Chancellor Friedrich Merz is looking for excuses: “This task is bigger than some may have imagined a year ago – and I say that self-critically,” Merz admitted in a speech on Saturday in Osnabrück. “We’re not just facing a phase of economic weakness; we are in a structural crisis.” Germany’s economy contracted by 0.3% in Q2, more than expected, as consumer spending fell short. But the root of the malaise lies closer to home: While Merz enjoys the spotlight abroad, he’s been slow to deliver reforms at home; and that’s dragging down the national mood.
