Germany is emerging from the crisis more slowly than hoped, says Robert Habeck. The government only expects mini-growth of 0.2 percent this year.
Inflation is expected to fall to 2.8 percent. Germany cannot afford continued weak growth, it is said with regard to prosperity. The minister wants a “reform booster”: “We have to do more.” He says voluntary longer working hours in old age should be paid extra and immigration from abroad should be accelerated.
