Gabriel warns of border control and hysteria

The Federal Minister of Economics attested to Germany in the Jahreswirtschaftsbericht a stable economic and social Situation. Satisfied, he is not yet. This is also related to the refugee crisis to do.

Basically, the situation is not that bad after all: The economy in Germany is going well, the capacities are more than busy. German Goods are in demand around the world, even the economic weakness in China, the exports do not fall. More and more people go to a regular Job after this year their number to 380.000 to 43.4 million Employees rise, that would be a new record. “The Rest of Europe and large parts of the world envy us for this employment miracle can be,” said German Economics Minister Sigmar Gabriel at the presentation of the Jahreswirtschaftsberichts in Berlin.

By 1.7 percent, the German economy in 2016 to grow. “Given the escalation of the Euro crisis in Greece in the last year, tensions with Russia, the terrorist attacks in Paris, the deceleration of growth in China and Latin America, one can rightly say that the German economy in good shape”, said Gabriel.

The consumption, because the Germans like to buy

No exuberant performance

Right satisfied is the Minister still does not. “In the face of extremely low oil prices, given the extremely good Wechselkurbedingungen, given extremely good financing terms can 1.7 percent growth for an export nation like Germany is not as exuberant well-known, but are rather average,” is Gabriel’s criticism. Furthermore, does the Minister have to worry about whether Germany also in ten years still be so stable to stand on, as it is today.

“We live in far Parts of the substance,” the Vice-Chancellor. “From the labour market and social reforms of the Agenda 2010 on the one hand, and of the substance of the receipt of the industrial Wertschöpfungsbasis and the manufacturing sector on the other.” It is doubtful also, whether, Germany, for the digitization adequately equipped. The aim, by 2018 a Breitbandgeschwindigkeit of 50 MB/s could be achieved, only a waypoint. “In truth, we will be in five to ten years, much faster broadband connections need to have the Giga-networks, so we at the business development can participate.

Bleak Outlook for the global economy, fierce market turbulence and the unresolved refugee crisis – the German consumer can be of anything the buying mood spoil. (27.01.2016)

The mood in the top echelons in January surprisingly clouded. Despite China Worries and the decline of the oil prices is expected, the Bundesbank in Germany is still a growing economy. (25.01.2016)

In the emerging markets, it’s not running around. Oil-exporting countries suffer from the low Oil prices. In the largest economy – the USA – is expressed by the strong Dollar and the second largest – China is in the midst of upheaval. (19.01.2016)

The economy of the people’s Republic of China is in 2015, with 6.9 per cent so weak grown since 1990, not more, so it is called by the official side in Beijing. Experts fear that the Numbers could not even vote. (19.01.2016)

Who should pay for them?

Around 100 billion euros in the next few years in order to use the digital infrastructure to the necessary level. Gabriel focuses on the private sector, but with a view of the telecommunications industry are major obstacles. “I believe that the Problem lies in the fact that we on the European level regulations, the company sizes do not allow such private sector investment to manage it,” criticized the Minister. “I’m not sure if we today, in the face of the law and practice in the EU, so a company such as Airbus even once approved it would get.”

Still a Problem does the Minister of economic Affairs to create. The research and development in the middle class, go back and ensure that the innovative strength “in the most essential part of the German economy”. The politics do well to think about “how we create incentives in order to change”. A better tax promotion floats Gabriel as well as project funding and the further reduction of red tape.

Warning of border controls

Again and again came Sigmar Gabriel at the presentation of the Jahreswirtschaftsberichts on the topic of refugees to speak of. “We know that we are in a historical Situation are, and we know how big the responsibility is that we adequately deal with it.” The “in part out of political hysteria,” he felt, however, for neither justifiable nor do the country good. “It makes people only more uncertain and the only ones who benefit are those where the uncertainty in Germany is not large enough can be, because they are your political soup it want to cook.”

Economy in the Schengen area suffers from border control

It was important, especially, “a substantial reduction of the speed, so the immigration in the current year” to create. To achieve this, you would have the borders secured and a take-back agreement between the EU and Turkey are closed. Before the introduction of national border controls as a response to the refugee crisis warn the Minister, however, expressly. That would make “enormous problems of an economic nature,” he said. The company would have to come back in to stock investing, the logistics would be significantly more expensive. “We would be in the division of labour in the economy, we’ve been 20 to 30 years, very strong, massive challenges to be made.”
