All true, but this is much deeper than the three points mentioned. The economy was already heading on the downward for some time, but the government failed to address the core issues that were creating this. Lack of innovation, a reluctance by the old farts in power to embrace digitalisation, continuation of heavy regulations and China becoming a lot more competitive. The transition to green, became the icing on the cake.
As an outsider, observing German politics, i would say that, of the 3 partners in the government, only FDP has been making sense lately. The other 2 partners have greatly ignored the German economy for the sake of their ideologies.
One of the things Europe must do is allow less American influence in Europe and start building better stuff in Europe that will make China and America want to invest in Europe more.
Europe lacks a comparative advantage in labour and energy costs and it lacks critical minerals. China and US are resource rich with access to labour and energy

Strange things do happen in Germany. The one that provided cheap energy is called “Enemy”. The one that destroyed the flow of cheap energy into Germany is called “Friend”. The one that keeps helping her “Friend” to continue destroying her own country is called “Ursula Gertrud von der Leyen”.
In light of the ongoing global economic crisis, it is crucial for everyone to prioritize investing in diverse sources of income that are not reliant on the government. This includes exploring opportunities in stocks, gold, silver, and digital currencies. Despite the challenging economic situation, it remains a favorable time to consider these investments.
The pathway to substantial returns doesn't solely rely on stocks with significant movements. Instead, it revolves around effectively managing risk relative to reward. By appropriately sizing your positions and capitalizing on your advantage repeatedly, you can progressively work towards achieving your financial goals. This principle applies across various investment approaches, whether it be long-term investing or day trading.
Despite utilizing the correct strategies and possessing the right assets, there can still be variations in the investment returns among different investors. It is important to acknowledge that experience plays a crucial role in investment success. Personally, I realized the significance of this and sought the guidance of a market analyst, which enabled me to substantially grow my account to nearly a million. I strategically withdrew my profits just before the market correction, and now I am taking advantage of the buying opportunities once again.
My CFA ’ Sophia Maurine Lanting’ , a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.
thank you for this tip , I must say Sophia, appears to be quite knowledgeable. After coming across her online webpage, I thoroughly went through her resume, and I must say, it was quite impressive. I reached out to her, and I have booked a session with her.
No country can survive with plenty strangers . Imagine if you put plenty peoples in your house and only you that feed them do you think you can make it?
It is horrible strange that all the ministers do not know where to invest. Even I as a non german clearly see what Germany needs to invest into. Energy sector - but mostly new (safe) nuclear (micro nuclear reactors and similar) - in education, in business - (with low interest loans)... IT and Infrasctructure... Innovation in general (legal support and compliance for free provided by government)
The regulations are supposed to give incentives for certain behaviour and make sure that people don't work on things that are unsuited for it or cost society more than it offers. In a country that is as densely populated you need to make sure that resources do not get destroyed. It is part of German efficiency and the basis for its judicial system: everything is clear and there is always someone responsible and it carries the collective experiences in that field. The problem is the level of detail, eventual protectionism, obsolescence and lack of automation/digitalisiation. which would need an investment. But apparently Lindner doesn't understand the meaning of "amortisation" or "investment" for that matter. You can't wait years upon years with certain things but take a credit and make sure the investment lives up to its name and results in a revenue. Especially not while bridges and school buildings are crumbling. That is just negligent. Especially with tax cuts, theft by cum-ex/-cum and other tax evasion and lacking administrators in Finanzbehörde and BAFIN.That would be billions without introducing a new law. Just more money for investigators that each covers their cost many times over. But no - let's cut the income of the poorest, I'm sure that will not result in any riots... The FDP will lose its seats in the Bundestag and rightly so and of their own volition.
Germany is over, the favorable conditions that made them industrious and innovative aren't insomuch there anymore, as effective and producing as before. And they don't deserve sympathy as because of Germany Europe lost its dominance and prominence in the world. EU, Europe is archaic.
@ that’s interesting. so Russia keeps invading its neighbors and annexing their territories one after another then accuses them of planning to invade it. That’s is so convenient isn’t it? I mean sure, Moldova was just about to invade and take over Russia.
The EU must fully realize its potential as a united bloc to address global challenges. Despite a substantial defense budget, the EU lags behind in critical areas like AI, quantum computing, and space exploration. A fragmented approach undermines its ability to compete with global powers. Only through greater unity can Europe secure its future and become a formidable force on the world stage. Divided, we merely exist. United, we thrive.
they need to get rid of that spending restriction and invest to save the economy. other countries do it. our government wont do anything until everything burns.
For god sake invest in schools, teachers, kindergarten, doctors, digitalization, control bureaucracy, introduce English as second language, open markets on Sundays etc
The election outcome should be logically be what eventually “seals faith”. I hope the German people have realized that following US Democrats and other global oligarchs instructions on backing Viktoria Newlands color revolution in Ukraine, didn’t serve the common citizens interests…..
What type of identety politics are you engagin in? We, the eu, need ukraine in the eu, as we need all of europe... Thats really all, aswell as giving us anchance to realize our dire need to invest in military matters, maybe even sharing competency in matters of military across all of the eu (aka giving the eu a shared competency with national governments)
@@Alexander-z6xUkraine does not represent any western values. It's only a little undemocratic regime based on oligarchy and corrupt to the core. It matches Russia and will stay there.
Mr. Lindner is so true to reduce the air taxes. Germany says use trains. Try to travel on ICE . They are so costly. DB ICE have crazy prices during every school holidays. Also Germany has to give up its love for paper for each and every thing and reduce bureaucracy starting from getting simple and essential thing even a broadband connection for example.
I don't know how you can consider yourself a "free market" party but refuse to take on debt. Utilizing debt is a fundamental operation of a free market
Hmm, not once did they mention the anticipated strain on the budget by increased defense expenditures. Under Trump, those will have to go up significantly. Where is the money going to come from?
The rich pay every little taxes and there are a lot of them. Getting them from mostly 0 or a very high negative number to even half of what an average citizen pays would be a very large windfall
Being a puppet has never helped anyone. Use your own brains. Choose wise politicians like Helmut Kohl. Kick the immigrants out, the lot. Stop feeding silly wars.

The pathway to substantial returns doesn't solely rely on stocks with significant movements. Instead, it revolves around effectively managing risk relative to reward. By appropriately sizing your positions and capitalizing on your advantage repeatedly, you can progressively work towards achieving your financial goals. This principle applies across various investment approaches, whether it be long-term investing or day trading.
Despite utilizing the correct strategies and possessing the right assets, there can still be variations in the investment returns among different investors. It is important to acknowledge that experience plays a crucial role in investment success. Personally, I realized the significance of this and sought the guidance of a market analyst, which enabled me to substantially grow my account to nearly a million. I strategically withdrew my profits just before the market correction, and now I am taking advantage of the buying opportunities once again.
Please can you leave the info of your investment advisor here? I’m in dire need for one
My CFA ’ Sophia Maurine Lanting’ , a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.
thank you for this tip , I must say Sophia, appears to be quite knowledgeable. After coming across her online webpage, I thoroughly went through her resume, and I must say, it was quite impressive. I reached out to her, and I have booked a session with her.
Lots of Indians and Russians that never set foot in Germany in the comments here.
No country can survive with plenty strangers . Imagine if you put plenty peoples in your house and only you that feed them do you think you can make it?
Her vocal frying is so intense she could cook an omelette
ROLOL and the EU is worried about China 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It is horrible strange that all the ministers do not know where to invest. Even I as a non german clearly see what Germany needs to invest into. Energy sector - but mostly new (safe) nuclear (micro nuclear reactors and similar) - in education, in business - (with low interest loans)... IT and Infrasctructure... Innovation in general (legal support and compliance for free provided by government)
The regulations are supposed to give incentives for certain behaviour and make sure that people don't work on things that are unsuited for it or cost society more than it offers. In a country that is as densely populated you need to make sure that resources do not get destroyed. It is part of German efficiency and the basis for its judicial system: everything is clear and there is always someone responsible and it carries the collective experiences in that field.
The problem is the level of detail, eventual protectionism, obsolescence and lack of automation/digitalisiation. which would need an investment. But apparently Lindner doesn't understand the meaning of "amortisation" or "investment" for that matter. You can't wait years upon years with certain things but take a credit and make sure the investment lives up to its name and results in a revenue. Especially not while bridges and school buildings are crumbling. That is just negligent. Especially with tax cuts, theft by cum-ex/-cum and other tax evasion and lacking administrators in Finanzbehörde and BAFIN.That would be billions without introducing a new law. Just more money for investigators that each covers their cost many times over. But no - let's cut the income of the poorest, I'm sure that will not result in any riots... The FDP will lose its seats in the Bundestag and rightly so and of their own volition.
Just repair the nord stream pipeline
A lot of Russians Orcs in here 😂😂😂
Does it hurt to hear the truth?
what are the germans? hobbits?
Reality hurts you.
What goes around , comes around
Maybe they can join BRICS? And get cheaper gaz
Man this comment is really dumb...
Germany is over, the favorable conditions that made them industrious and innovative aren't insomuch there anymore, as effective and producing as before. And they don't deserve sympathy as because of Germany Europe lost its dominance and prominence in the world. EU, Europe is archaic.
There is way to much bureaucracy in Germany. But if they get rid of it many will loose their jobs
Digitalization with acceptance of English
Focus on service sector where english is the dominant language.
After breaking the entire continent, Germany falls into a trap of its own making.
OH OH
NATOs plan to invade Russia has backfired 😂
@@iROChakri Wait Wtf?!🥸 who invaded who again?!
@@TheLordFrog NATO wanted Ukraine to join NATO so they can have their weapons on Russia border .
@ that’s interesting. so Russia keeps invading its neighbors and annexing their territories one after another then accuses them of planning to invade it. That’s is so convenient isn’t it? I mean sure, Moldova was just about to invade and take over Russia.
@@TheLordFrog These are bots employed by kremlin - the war is not just in Ukraine it's here on the internet too.
The EU must fully realize its potential as a united bloc to address global challenges. Despite a substantial defense budget, the EU lags behind in critical areas like AI, quantum computing, and space exploration. A fragmented approach undermines its ability to compete with global powers.
Only through greater unity can Europe secure its future and become a formidable force on the world stage.
Divided, we merely exist. United, we thrive.
Yes, yes and yes.
Japan is like a Mad Max car driven by a blindfolded driver. Japan has no debt ceiling nor OBR. The Government can print as much money as they like.
they need to get rid of that spending restriction and invest to save the economy. other countries do it. our government wont do anything until everything burns.
Question is: would this have happened, if “Harris” won?
I thought it was impossible to get fired from your job (especially a gov't job) in germany.
For god sake invest in schools, teachers, kindergarten, doctors, digitalization, control bureaucracy, introduce English as second language, open markets on Sundays etc
Abolish gez liceu fee. Cost bout of control
lol the host " why don't the Germans want to go deeply into debt" it's like she's ignorant to their history before WWII...
I notice there is a lot of "could" in these videotitles.
The election outcome should be logically be what eventually “seals faith”.
I hope the German people have realized that following US Democrats and other global oligarchs instructions on backing Viktoria Newlands color revolution in Ukraine, didn’t serve the common citizens interests…..
What type of identety politics are you engagin in?
We, the eu, need ukraine in the eu, as we need all of europe... Thats really all, aswell as giving us anchance to realize our dire need to invest in military matters, maybe even sharing competency in matters of military across all of the eu (aka giving the eu a shared competency with national governments)
@@Alexander-z6xUkraine does not represent any western values. It's only a little undemocratic regime based on oligarchy and corrupt to the core. It matches Russia and will stay there.
@@Alexander-z6xso who is stopping you? 😂😂😂😂
Kaputt
Mr. Lindner is so true to reduce the air taxes. Germany says use trains. Try to travel on ICE . They are so costly. DB ICE have crazy prices during every school holidays. Also Germany has to give up its love for paper for each and every thing and reduce bureaucracy starting from getting simple and essential thing even a broadband connection for example.
You have to learn every few years not to antagonise the Russians, and you have to learn the hard way it seems.
Collapse is a meaningless word nowadays. If Germany collapses what word should we choose to describe Venezuela's economic state?
Switch to fashion and tourism.
I don't know how you can consider yourself a "free market" party but refuse to take on debt. Utilizing debt is a fundamental operation of a free market
Hmm, not once did they mention the anticipated strain on the budget by increased defense expenditures. Under Trump, those will have to go up significantly. Where is the money going to come from?
Follow America and this is what you get...
Germany needs fresh blood (tech friendliness), broader export market and less bureaucracy.
Going cold turkey after decades of addiction to cheap Russian energy.
The rich pay every little taxes and there are a lot of them. Getting them from mostly 0 or a very high negative number to even half of what an average citizen pays would be a very large windfall
KAPUT!!!!!!!
Независимые)) ваши компании бегут из странны тупо не выгодно там работать
Being a puppet has never helped anyone. Use your own brains. Choose wise politicians like Helmut Kohl. Kick the immigrants out, the lot. Stop feeding silly wars.
Please look into the ease of customs clearance procedures.
Why are you constantly talking down my country?
On my taxpayer money?
PS:
- Germany overtook Japan this year to become the world's number three economy
- VW grew its revenue in the first 9 months, compared to 2023
- production in Germany grew "unexpectedly" in qt. 3 of 2024
Prove me wrong, please.
Deutschland ist in einer Wirtschaftskrise wir sind seid 1 Jahr im minus Bereich , der Finanzminister wird gefeuert , die Ampel kollabiert , Olaf Scholz wird wahrscheinlich kein Kanzler bald mehr sein , die Regierung vertraut ihm nicht mehr und man soll dich falsch prüfen ? 💀 du Verstehst nicht mal die Grundprinzipien unser wirtschaftlichen und politischen Lage
Can u elaborate on the unexpected part a bit?
Germany didnt overtake. Japan's GDP slid below Germany's ;) Japans economy just sucked a lot more than Germanys
They've gotta blame someone for the downward spiral following the blowing-up of NordStream, and if Biden isn't going to own up they've got to point to someone else, and currently thats Germany.
The issue for Germany
1. Ukraine war and its complications
2. China stagnation: VW revenue growth is really problematic right now...open tradingview and you can put VW y/y growth and put Chinese growth together: they are in sync with each other.
GERMÁN-EXIT of EU
immigration never worked over long periods of time if birthrate is unstable. you have to fix the birthrate.
Wait... I thought Russia was the one supposedly getting into a crisis due to the sanctions, what happened?
Honestly I'm surprised our government lasted this long... 😂
Wow DW thinks Germany should take on more debt!!!! Who would have thought!!!
But germany greener now is
Ой а то случилось?
The DW 'Journalist' asked her guest a loaded question, "How helpful is it the FDP's refusal on debt." WOW, The guest didn't take the bait but laid her garbage question bare, He sates, "It's not all the fault of the FDP." I have to say DW has really gone of the rails in terms of BIAS....very sad as they started with good, neutral coverage...
Bunch of economic experts in the comments suddenly
No worries. Focus India
