The Federal Government's growth initiative

On July 24, 2024, the German cabinet approved the first measures from the growth initiative that was agreed upon at the beginning of the month. The goals of the growth initiative are to stimulate more economic momentum and to increase the long-term growth potential of the German economy. How should this initiative be evaluated? To answer this question, we spoke to Professor Dr. Oliver Holtemöller, Vice President of the Halle Institute for Economic Research (IWH) and Head of the Macroeconomics Department there.
