With Change comes Opportunity
Following the collapse of Germany’s ruling coalition in November, the country is now gearing up for early elections on February 23, 2025. This election comes at a critical juncture as Germany grapples with the ongoing Russian war on Ukraine, a struggling economy, high energy prices, and deteriorating infrastructure. The stakes are high for the new government to restore political stability and reignite economic growth.
As the world's third-largest economy, Germany must also navigate a shifting geopolitical landscape and challenging conditions for its export-driven economy. Internal fragmentation and polarization will likely complicate the formation of a new ruling coalition, making it difficult to achieve consensus on key issues.
